Several weeks ago, at my small town newspaper, a kind anonymous person placed this ad in our classifieds:
Found: a sum of money. Please call 882-XXXX (the newspaper's number) and give specific details.
After many strange and illicit attempts, the money was returned to an older woman who had dropped it in an alley. She had cashed her SS check, was on a fixed income, and had bought a few small food items at the local grocery store. She does not drive, and was walking home with her bags of food, when the bank envelope fell out of her pocket.
The money ($300, roughly) was returned.
There are still great and wonderful people out there. I think many of them are here.
Merry Christmas, to all you great and wonderful people! You know who you are; I am betting that all of us here would have done the same thing!
