Frankie Burns found the wallet filled with $1,700 while in the Bronx for a Gaelic football playoff game. Frankie Burns and his father, who is also named Frank,  used a dental ID card to find the man who lost the wallet, CBS New York said. 

Turns out the man who lost the wallet was carrying the cash to pay his rent when he was attacked. He thanked Frankie by giving him $100, which Frankie says he'll use to score some new cleats, CBS said.
