    YORK COUNTY, Pennsylvania (WGAL) — A York County man had an experience that impacted him so much he reached out to News 8 to share it.

For Kevin Smith, Friday started with an ordinary trip to the grocery store.

“I picked up a few items at Weis Markets, drove immediately home, walked in the door, reached in my back pocket. My wallet wasn’t there,” he said.

Smith thought he may have left his wallet in his car, so he walked to the garage. But the wallet wasn’t there.

“And then I started to panic,” he said.

Smith isn’t exactly sure where he dropped his wallet. He thinks it must have fallen out somewhere in the parking lot.

“And I was about ready to drive back to Weis Markets in the hopes that I might find it,” he said.

At about that same time, Smith’s Ring doorbell picked up images of a young woman carrying a wallet. She shows the contents are still intact.

“And I hear this voice saying, ‘Excuse me,’ at my garage door,” Smith said.

The woman, who only identified herself as Brooke, told Smith she picked up the wallet, found his address on his driver’s license and decided to hand deliver it to him.

“God’s angels are everywhere, but in that moment, certainly Brooke was one of them to me,” Smith said.

The gesture inspired Smith, and he’s hoping it’ll inspire others as well.

“Be a good neighbor. Be a good friend. Be a good stranger, like Brooke was to me. And it’s amazing how those random acts of kindness can make such a big difference,” he said.
