Faith in humanity restored today!

[Nick350z]

To cut a long story short I dropped my 6+ in the road today whilst getting back in my car after a work based errand - and drove off without it. Didn't realise until 15 minutes later when Id got back to work and did the usual checks - keys, wallet, pho...oh no. Engage level 10 panic mode. Anyway my mate called the phone and a guy the other end answers, says he's got it, gives me his address - about 4 miles away, I whizz round there and low and behold he's kept it safe and sound. I really couldn't believe it. He wouldn't even take the offer of a reward and asked me to put some in a charity box instead - which I shall most certainly be doing. An absolute gent who saved me a whole tonne of grief and expense.

 

As the title says - faith restored!

Good news. Just goes to show that there are still some decent people about

[HEADPHONES]

Damn.......

for a moment I thought you left your 6+ KID/CHILD in the road and drove off

Only realised when at the end you said you rang the phone

[WhackyWill]

You obviously don't live in London..They would have answered the phone

 

told you to come around to collect it..and then mugged you, :scare:

[ATTAK Z]

Great stuff Nick.

 

There are a few of us honest folk about & I'm so glad your phone was found by one.

[KUGT4]

dunno how you missed losing something that size....

You're very lucky mate! Sounds like it found its way into the right hands, if not it would be on eBay by now lol.

Lost my wallet in Twickenham a few months back. A very nice girl from one of the local shops found it in the street and brought it to the house. Unfortunately, somebody had got to it before her and liberated the £20 cash I had in it, but I was chuffed that she'd made the effort to bring it to me.

I'd be glad too. Even if you lost the £20, at least you don't have to go to the hassle of having to cancel all your cards etc, and you get the wallet back! lol

Yeah - I was chuffed to get it back and her nice gesture took the edge off feeling bad that someone had taken the money.

A kind and compassionate act is often its own reward

[R35LEE]

A fair few good people out there still

I lost my wallet one day with almost £200 in it. I didn't even notice until my mother came to give me it after SHE found it in the street between home and work

[NeilMH]

Good stuff

[WhackyWill]

I found my next door neighbours wallet outside on the driveway,

 

he had a bundle of money in it , driving license, National Identity card,

 

Credit cards, and other things..! I went around and rung his door bell, wife answered

 

and I said "I found your husbands wallet outside on the driveway" she said "OK I'll give

 

it to him" to this day he hasn't even said thanks and this was in about Sept, so don't suppose he will now... :surrender:
