Antique dealer tracks down homeless man to split profit after he found a valuable Disney painting [View all]

A homeless man who stumbled upon a valuable Disney picture in a trash bin was rewarded by the antique dealer who bought the art from him, reported CNN.
Adam Gillian of the Canadian city of Edmonton was originally paid $20 for a picture of Bambi by antique dealer Alexander Archbold. “When I knew it was gonna sell for a lot of money, I knew it wasn’t right to take it all,” Archbold told CNN. Archbold sold the artwork for $3,700.
Archbold went on a search to find Gillian, which was difficult because he had no address. After driving around he was able to get in contact with other homeless people that knew him.
Gillian returned to the store and Archbold gifted him with his half of the profit which was $1,600.35.
