GRM and I share similiar stories, and perhaps relatives. When someone has REALLY known hunger, fed their kid and not themselves you can see it forever in their eyes. It is engraved on their heart and souls. Like GRM the found 6 bucks would have meant more than one who has never been there can imagine.
As others have experienced.... we found a gold necklace in the public pool, turned it in with our contact info if not claimed...you go it, the next week the pimpled face kid said 'yes it was claimed.'..the shit was WEARING IT!
Even today, if it was cash, I would take it as a way to help my granddaugher who's parents could use a break too.
Gimme that rich bitch's phone number I still have some swamp land in Florida.
I found a purse in a casino once, and turned it in to security- they detained me until the owner came to inspect it, and make sure everything was still there--(it was just a couple of minutes). Once I figured out what they were doing-(thinking that I stole the purse), I told them what horseshit THAT was- and walked out of their office-- they didn't stop me.
Another time I found a wallet in the Safeway parking lot, and went to the address on the Dr. Lic- knocked on the door- the guy took the wallet, checked his cash and shut the door in my face without a 'thank-you, kiss my ass" or anything.
Another time, taking a cab up a hill in SF, I felt something hit my feet-- It was the cabby's wad of bills-- which I gave back to him--- He still charged me for the cab fare.
I did not tip him.
Another time I found some reading glasses- in a shopping cart- called the number, and went by the lady's house to return them, and she gave me a bottle of Champagne.
You just never can tell what kind of a reaction you will get from people, can you?
Mechelle - can you tell me where I left my keys? I'll thank you.
I'll share that bottle with you.
@Rlsco-----They are right where you left them.
Try the pants pockets-- no-- the other pants-- no the other pocket.
Sure-- Gary- I still have it in the frig-- come on over-- I will leave the light on for you.
Found 'em. Thanks Mechelle.
Glad to be of help.
You are most welcome.
Michelle dang you are good at this stuff when do you get time to sleep?
Wallet stolen in 1982 found in NYC tree; $20 gone
NEW YORK – Money doesn't grow on trees, but a tree-care supervisor in New York City's Central Park found an old wallet inside a dead one.
The blue leather wallet had been stolen by a pickpocket 27 years ago. It was found in the hollow of a dying cherry tree. It was near where Ruth Bendik had hers swiped while she watched the New York City Marathon in 1982.
The 69-year-old Upper East Side resident says the only thing missing was $20 in cash. Her credit cards were still there. So were her student ID from Columbia University Teachers College and an employee ID from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
The park worker says he found the wallet last week under five feet of compost. Police tracked down Bendik the next day.
