Feel good factor
#1
I found a wallet yesterday so I handed it in to the local plod shop. Received a call from plod last night saying it belonged to a soldier  on his way back after some leave. Made me feel better that did  Smile

Not many honest folk around these days unfortunately......good man :thumbup  my 21 year old daughter did similar last year found a new blackberry mobile in a taxi, although shes lost decent phones in town at night not one had been returned she like you did the right thing! went through the address book and phoned the contacts to tell them she,d found it.
The owner got in touch & gave her a tenner for her honesty made me dead proud.

:thumbup Good for you. I always believe in karma, so hope good things happen to you.

If you worried about falling off your bike, you'd never get on.

Smile 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  8) only human too.

Today a Big Issue seller at Muswell Hill, seemed to be having 'one of those days' where it was hot, people were being exceptionally rude and yet, he was jolly happy, polite and friendly. None of this crying bollocks, just very happy 'Hello, how are you"'s to people.


I gave him a couple of quid and offered him some food and drink on top of it, cos I thought he was so polite, and I didn't want everyone else to get him down.


I didn't buy an Issue though. I don't like it. . . .  Big Grin
