Well Done Buddy .. nice move .. I hope the Soldier guy is able to get back to you and say his Thanks.
Just Chat:
Not long ago .. on a sunny Sunday morning .. I slid to a sideways halt in the gravel on a quiet mountain pass down here in Spain and hobbled back to pick up a newish looking and undamaged Bum Bag in the middle of the road.
I recon it had been dropped (maybe the new clip had not been secured correctly?) off the bum end of a fellow Biker .. hard to figure any other way it could have gotten there.
Inside .. Wallet, with cash, cards, coins, photo of a woman and the normal bits of paper and junk that many guys carry, plus large bunch of Keys. Pen, Fags and Lighter and so on .. but no address's or phone numbers .. obviously almost certainly a Spanish owner / rider.
I sat on the bike and waited .. 20 minutes or more .. nobody turned up doing any looking, rolled (back) down to small town with fuel station, no luck there, rode on again up and over to next fuel stop, same again .. no info of any loss.
Not later I handed it in at a Local Fuzz Office and left details of the find location and how to contact me (plus my wife's mobile number) etc. End of story, we have never heard another word .. from anyone.
Of course .. I don't really need the Thanks .. but I have always kind of pondered .. as I ride that road again .. did the owner ever get his bag, bits and bobs back .. or did cop just take what he wanted and bin the rest?
As already stated here .. honesty is a rare thing in these hard financial times .. and cops are, well more or less
only human too.
Eyes down, look in peeps and Stay Safe
