He's the talk of the town in Braunschweig, Germany.
An anonymous donor— affectionately called Germany's Robin Hood by the media — is leaving envelopes filled with euro notes to local good causes .
Envelopes have been discovered behind hymn books in a church, under a doormat on a well-lit porch and at the reception desk of thelocal newspaper.
The money is often accompanied with a newspaper clipping. In one case , an article about a boy paralyzed in a swimming accident was paired with the cash, the boy's name underlined.
"I was driving when Iheard the news. I had to park on the side of the road. I was speechless. For someone to act so selflessly…was astonishing," said theinjured boy's mother.
The donor has yet to be spotted.
"All the people of the town know is that heor she (or perhaps even they) are very generous, having left190,000 euros (£158,480) so far. Themystery donor may have given even more — they leave the bundles of money (20 x 500 euronotes each time) where they are not certain of being found," the BBC reports .
The Canadian-dollar equivalent of the donations thus far is almost $250,000.
While everyone has their theories as to who he/she may be, the newspaper refuses to put reporters on the case:
"He or she wishes to remain anonymous and we have to respect it. So it's anonymous, anonymous, anonymous as far as we are concerned," Henning Noske, editor of Braunschweiger Zeitung, explained. Nor will he give charities newspaper coverage merely as an attempt to gain the good Samaritan'sattention .

amazing, I wish more could and would do it

we have such a 'charitable' fund for our own government, but I doubt most who can afford to contribute to it or even know about it,,,

If every American gave but a single dollar to such a fund it would have 320 million dollars.

Why should it take a millionaire to give a lot...

If each of us gave just a little it would equal out.
