Re: Lost Wallet
Oh that is lovely. So nice to know there are people who go out of their way to help others.
Years ago I left a notebook in a telephone kiosk. It wasn't of any value to anyone but me. It had a lot of important info in which I would have been devastated to lose. When I realised I'd left it I went back but it had gone. Later that day I got a phone call from the police station to say it had been brought in and I went to collect it. The young lad who had handed it in had left his name and address so we went round to thank him and to give him a reward. He lived on the Within Grove estate (the telephone kiosk was on Burnley Road) and he'd walked all the way from there to the police station to hand over my book.
When we got to the flat and asked if he was in his Dad (I assume) who came to the door looked exasperated and said "What the b.h. has he done now?" - when we told him he was dumbstruck. He was used to neighbours complaining about the kids making a noise or playing ball games and had assumed that we had a complaint. You should have seen the lad's face when his Dad called him and told him how proud he was of him for doing such a good deed.
