Three Colorado children who returned a wallet stuffed with $700 of cash to its owner have been hailed by well wishers.

Haylie Wenke, 13, her brother 6-year-old Reagan, and their friend Ashley Dayton are seen on surveillance video around midday on July 18 approaching the front door of an Aurora home, where a robotic voice tells them to leave a message.

Haylie tells the messaging system they had found the wallet outside a car and were returning it so no one would take the money.
