What might be his reward for his good deed? What did the elderly lady give him after finding the missing vault? He did not need any compensation for what he had done, yet he only wanted to take back the missing safe to its owner. However, Matthew put on a ceramic elephant in the area where the safe was. It was to remember what he had done on that day which made him glad after seeing the older woman happy after she found the missing item with its content. It would also be a reminder of a valuable thing waiting for him to be discovered.
