I once went into a phone booth and found $1500 cash in an envelope left in a notebook with other personal papers including a checkbook that someone had left there. I was unemployed and having car trouble at the time. I needed the money badly, but was with a close friend who helped me do the right thing: Get guy's # off a check and call him. Which I did. I gave it all back....
Was I lucky?
Yeah, lucky to have a genuine friend who helped keep me honest! Now, that's fortunate! The guy who lost it was a student. He'd taken his entire savings out of the back to get a car for school. He was so happy, he gave me $100, which I took, gladly, thanking him. We were both happy and lucky too.
End of tale.. and would that tales told were all so lucky, eh?
