Shortly after moving to the US, I lost my passport after visiting the social security office. I didn't even notice it was missing until a good samaritan sent me an @mention on Twitter claiming he'd found it on the sidewalk. He interrupted his day to hand it to me personally. Good samaritans are everywhere. Most don't write blog posts about their good deeds.

The good samaritan in this case didn't write a blog post. Exec did. They're using this as a bit of publicity, and honestly, I don't see anything wrong with that.

  In general I agree, but this feels slightly staged. Why would you take a photo of the handoff?

    Because you've already decided that this would make a great blog post, and so you want to make sure to get some pictures. A comment below by justin (who apparently works for Exec) seems to indicate this is the case. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3951355 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3951355
