My good deed for the day

Luc needed to open a German bank account today in Aachen. I decided to go along with him for the short trip. While I was sitting patiently waiting for Luc to finish his banking business I noticed one of the employees standing next to an ice cream refrigerator. I thought to myself his job must be to just sell the ice cream. Then a women came up to him and handed him a wallet. He looked inside and pulled out an ID glanced at it for a second then put it back and walked away. A few seconds later a women sat down next to me. She waited for awhile then a guy stood next to her speaking in German. He made an obvious gesture reaching to his back pocket, this was my cue to intervene. Even though I do not speak German I politely asked if he was missing his wallet. They nodded yes and I pointed to the man who received the missing wallet. His wallet was returned and I got a "Thank you". I felt like sharing this story to brag about my good deed and my intuition.
