Just read Flip's "I got jumped" thread and thought I'd counter with a good account of the people here. It's nothing major, but it shows that there are still some good souls left in the city.
I lost my wallet on Friday morning. I was in the Co-op parking lot at about 11:00, going to the Scotiabank to deposit a cheque. The bank didn't open till 12 Friday, and I had to go across town, so I left. My wallet fell out of my pocket on my way back to the car. Obviously I didn't notice.
I found out about an hour later (when I was already across town and tied up for the day). So I cancelled all my cards etc, figuring the wallet was gone forever. But when I got back home around 5:00 I called Co-Op customer service just to check.
Someone had actually taken my wallet in!
I couldn't believe it. I guess I was lucky that an honest person was the first to stumble upon my wallet; it could have easily been someone else who would have taken my Visa to town at my expense.
So yeah, not really a big deal but it's just nice to know that there are still
good people around here.
So, many thanks to whoever was at the Richmond Road Co-op and did something honest. If you are that person, or know that person, let me know and there will be free drinks involved.
