Koreans are so kind!

In my drunken stupidity, I lost my iPod touch last Friday night. Since I have owned it, I have become quite addicted to the thing, so when I realized I had dropped it in the street somewhere on my way home, I was unbelievably angry with my clumsy self. I raged for quite a bit when I got back to my apartment, and woke up in a sloppy, pitiful stupor that quickly turned me into a maniac "needing" an iPod immediately. Somehow, I found someone here in my town selling a used touch for 300,000 won (about $260) so I quickly handed over the paper to have an iPod once again. Well, 4 days later I get a call on my Korean cell phone from a Korean who speaks little to no English saying that he found my iPod and that HE WOULD BRING IT TO ME. At first I found this a bit creepy so I said we could meet right by my place. Anyways he brought it to me in perfect condition, saying he found it on the side of the road. How do things like this happen here?
