Those of you who followed me during the MS150 know how I excited I was on “the hunt”. Immediately after I finished the ride, I pulled my cell phone out of my bag and messaged Eric to see if he finished yet.
In the process, my ID and the $23 wrapped around it must have slipped out, because it was gone after that. I realized this later, and had to get to the airport early to board the flight and get searched.
So guess what I got in the mail today:
A letter from C. REEVE (let’s call him ‘Christopher’, for the obvious reasons) of Bridges Fairway in Houston:
FOUND THIS DL. ON THE STREETS OF AUSTIN, 4-13-08
with my ID enclosed. How amazing is that?! ‘Christopher’, you’re my new hero! As much as I love this part of California, Texas is the only place where I see such friendly people. Awesome!
THANKS CHRISTOPHER!

so was the $23 returned too? The answer will determine my poll vote.

No – But how do we know if Christopher took it or someone else did and threw the ID back onto the street?
Or if the money was even still wrapped around the ID (it was just folded) after it fell and got kicked around a bit?

A thank you note is ALWAYS a feel good way to let someone know how much you appreciate what has passed between you. Also, send him the link to your blog – he has officially made the famous Berto Blog in the most positive way. But, perhaps the best thing you can do is, as they say, PAY IT FORWARD……….
P.S. How DID you get on the airplane – did you once again use your 10 minutes of daily charm???

Just to support the decent peeps in Cali: I lost my DL about 2 years ago while skateboarding (don’t ask). Much to my amazement I got a card in the mail about 2 weeks later with my DL and a nice note explaining the woman found it while on a morning jog and wanted to return it to me, as she hoped someone would do for her. My point- there are nice people everywhere :)
