Sorry, but "I could have stole it - you're lucky I'm honest" is not a valid argument and the judge will laugh him out of the courtroom if he pulls that.
The lady does not owe him anything. He was there to renovate the bathroom, he was being paid for his work. Good for him for being honest. He should feel good about himself. That doesn't mean he's entitled to anything.
When you find someone's wallet and return it to them, you don't say "Here's your wallet I found. I should let you know though that I took half the money out of it - you know, since I'm entitled to it for finding it for you".

We found a few boxes of old stock certificates. They looked quite beautiful, but they didn't have much value.
