Arkansas teenager, 19, tracks down grandmother, 61, after he found her lost wallet while shopping at Walmart - and the pair became unlikely friends
- Delivontae Johnson, 19, drove 20 miles to return a wallet to a grandmother
- Johnson came across Dee Harkrider's wallet while at an Arkansas Walmart
- The two have since become friends and check-in with each other regularly
An Arkansas teenager has tracked down and befriended a grandmother after he found her lost wallet in a Walmart shopping cart.
Delivontae Johnson, 19, was getting his tire fixed at a local store when he came across a black wallet left in a cart belonging to Dee Harkrider, 61.
Johnson decided to personally return the wallet to Harkrider, a grandmother of seven, rather than to employees - a hunt that lead to him finding an unexpected friend.
'When I found a name, I looked it up on Facebook so I could get in contact with the owner,' Johnson told Fox News.

Harkrider didn't immediately respond to Johnson since Facebook doesn't always alert users of messages from non-friends.
Johnson then decided to reach out to a person on Harkrider's friend list for help and eventually found himself at the 61-year-old's house. Within an hour, Johnson was on his way to meet Harkrider in a Palestine parking lot.
'When I got there she was surprised that I was a teenager,' Johnson said. 'She thanked me and gave me a hug and we both took a picture together.'
Harkrider told NTD news she left her wallet in the cart after wandering in the store for a few items.
'Everything I had was in that wallet,' Harkrider said. 'And someone took the time to get it and bring it to me.'
Meanwhile, Johnson shared he was led to the Walmart after he hit a pothole in Memphis, Tennessee and was driving on a spare for about five days.
'My mom always told me that if you do good things, good things will always fall back on you,' Johnson told the news outlet.
The two quickly became friends and Harkrider has since met Johnson's family and attended his family parties.
This past weekend, Harkrider shared a series of pictures from Johnson's family baby shower.
'I went to a baby shower this weekend and got to meet some of Delivontae Johnson’s family,' Harkrider wrote on Facebook. 'They made us feel so welcomed!'
