Eleven-year-old Karlo Barbaric of Scottsdale, Ariz., likes math, science and social studies but admits, "I'm no honor student."

But his honesty is honorable.

Karlo found a wallet Saturday at Waikiki Beach and turned it in to police. It was no big thing to him but his father, Mike Barbaric, called The Advertiser from Arizona to report what he considered to be a terrific good deed by a young person.

Karlo opened the wallet briefly but didn't count the cash or look at the credit cards. "I felt like a burglar opening it, so I showed it to my mother and we gave it to police," the boy said. "They called later to say they found the owner."

Karlo, who will be a sixth-grader at Copper Canyon Elementary School in Scottsdale, said he felt good "knowing I did the right thing."

Police Maj. Greg Leftcourt, commander of the Waikiki patrol district, said, "It's always refreshing to hear someone is willing to come forward to do the right thing."

Karlo, his mom and sister return to Arizona today after a week-long vacation.
