When four football players from William Paterson University entered Buddy\u2019s Small Lots general store, they did not know that it was closed.\u00a0 The door was not locked and the lights were on.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

They were in search of sunglasses and batteries, but soon realized that no one was in the store.\u00a0 What they did next surprised everyone.\u00a0 The four college students found their items, then put their cash, including tax, on the counter.\u00a0 Then they waved to the cameras and walked out!<\/p>\n

When Marci Lederman, the store manager, came in, she was amazed at their honesty.\u00a0 So amazed, that she found out who the honest individuals were and gave them each $50 store credit!<\/p>\n

\u201cThey could have ransacked the store. They could have really done anything,\u201d Marci Lederman said. \u201cThey were perfect gentlemen.\u201d<\/p>\n
