Looks like there are still good people out there and it makes us really\u00a0want to\u00a0base jump with that guy. \u00a0<\/strong>Last year, David\u00a0Lafarge and his Girlfriend Heidi were on an exploring trip near their home spot, when Heidi spotted an iPhone located beneath them in a ledge. Luckily it was a pink one with white dots on it! Usually we would pass by with no further intention of checking out what it is or who it belongs to, but David and his girlfriend were absolutely determined to get that iPhone and deliver it back to its rightful owner. The way the whole story is told is such an inspiring and kind thing to do that we should all look up to David for doing so and we had to publish this! There is no doubt that the importance of being kind in life is perfectly made clear with this clip.
