Sproul-Latimer took to Twitter to share the story of Moorad's act of kindness that \"single-handedly restored (her) faith in humanity.\"
In complete disbelief at the level of support from the community for something that I didn't think was a big deal. Simply getting @annasproul her MacBook back was my good deed for the day, but I'm even more honored that my good deed touched so many people. Thank you everyone ❤️🙏 https://t.co/xIS09QaJpU

Moorad said he never considered keeping the laptop because he values honesty -- not to mention her dogged pursuit to find it.
“I was really happy to see that she was happy,” Moorad said. “When we start putting money over people’s feelings, that’s when things start going south.\"
He added that he has been “blown away” by her appreciation and the positive buzz online. To Moorad, even though he lost $600, Sproul-Latimer’s happiness and appreciation made it all worth it.
“Any act of kindness goes such a long way. You just don’t know what the person on the receiving end is going through,” Moorad said.
