Some Colorado kids are getting lots of love on social media after they were caught on camera doing the right thing. 

Thirteen-year-old Haylie Wenke and her 6-year-old brother, Reagan, returned a wallet they found in a driveway. 

Security camera footage shows the kids leaving the wallet on the homeowner's front porch. 

Nigel Drake says he had no idea he left it outside until his dad reviewed the security camera footage. 

He dad then posted the video on Facebook, hoping to find the kind-hearted kids who returned his son's wallet with $700 inside. 

Sure enough, the kids' aunt in South Dakota saw the post and put Drake's dad in touch with their parents. 

"If we stole the money we would get arrested," Reagan Wenke said.

Haylie Wenke said she didn't think what the kids did was a big deal. "If you see something that someone left or dropped, to always give it back and do the right thing." 

So far, the video has hundreds of likes and has been shared 1,300 times.
