OP: Pay it forward!!!!

Next time YOU find something, try your best to return it. Then if the person offers you something like cash, tell them to give to somebody on a street corner or donate it to their favorite charity in your name, but never give them your name, just give them your initials: OP.

Nah, a $20 is a comfortably informal and non-intimidating dollar figure. More than that would seem a little Over the Top...

Should have given him a Benjamin while furtively looking around, then ask him seriously while staring into his eyes...

"DID YOU ANSWER THE PHONE?" "DID YOU Mother-Fu*&er?"

Look around a little more...

Then Say "I Appreciate it", While slipping him the Benjamin...

"I was Never Here, we've never met, You NEVER had this Phone."

You probably already did something but I would just take him out for some beers.

This person was nice enough to call you and return it back to you. I would return a good deed by giving him 10-20 bucks.
