Found wallet quandary

I found a wallet last Saturday in the men's room (insert jokes here) at the railroad bridge bathroom on the canal. Didn't really look through it until Sunday to find address to send it back to the guy. Brain fart on that one, because if I used my cell phone to dial information I probably could have reached a family member using the guys license information, and arranged to have met up with the person who owned the wallet. Never called information with my cell, so I didn't give it a thought. Went to the post office after work yesterday and I got there to late to buy a box to put it in and/or mail it to Waltham. I was perplexed about how I should go about getting it back to the person to begin with. It has $334.00 in it. I have seen during the course of my job after people bring found wallets in the station when the good samaritans were accused of taking the money, or at least some of the money. And thier good deed basically turned to chit. I probably found the wallet before anyone else touched upon it as I doubt the money would have been still in it. Anyways I found a small box at work, which I placed the wallet inside of, and then placed the small box inside a bubble pack envelope and put the whole thing in the mails this morning. The postal theft problem was my other fear in putting the wallet and money in the mails. I didn't want to get in the middle of anything, but do want the guy to get back his property. And I don't want him to know it was me. I hope I did the right thing with this.
