Thumbs up Restores your faith (a Bit)

I am back in the UK visiting the family


Take the kids down the park for an hour or two, go shopping and get back to the car to find i have dropped my phone.

Hunt around the car and ring it from Jenny's phone, no answer and my heart sinks.

Call it again and it is answered, chap on the other end is just on his way down to the local police station with it. I meet him down there and get my phone back.

Thank you Gerry for being honest enough and taking the time to do the right thing

He would not take a reward so i am off to donate £20.00 to childline online.

I found a purse with 70 quid in it when i was a kid, about 7 or 8, I thought I was set up for life...

The old dear made me hand it in

I had a few weeks, then it was mine...<rubbed hands, money already spent on new toys >

Then we got the phone call...it had been claimed!

I had to go round to their house to collect my reward......they didn't have a pot to **** in, kids running round in their undies because they couldn't afford clothes. That 70 quid was all they money they had .

Anyway, I took the fiver, climbed back in my dad's merc, and fcuked off, cursing the scruffy ***** under my breath

I did learn an important lesson though, if you ever find anything of any value, pocket it, sharpish!

I cant remember the amount of times I've done this.
Find a phone at a rave, ring the entry marked "mum" and then parcel it up and send it to the address they give me.
Never mention my name though

I found a W810i in Barnsley last Friday

Phone T-Mobile to tell them I'd got it, they told me to hand it into the Barnsley cop shop, when i took it in, the person who had lost it had already been in to report it lost and it was in the book.

Glad they got it back and gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside hehe

Similar thing happend to my missus. Purse was stolen from the house then some guy phones to say he's found it but he's had trouble with the police and wants to give it back personally. No money or cards left, but driving license and other personal stuff.

Seriously suspicious, we go to the meet in a public place. Turns out the guy was sleeping rough with just his old dog for company. Offered him twenty quid but he'd only take a tenner

BTW, the guy who nicked it also burgled 14 other houses in our village and had previous as long as your arm. Police had him bang to rights but when it came the the final court hearing for sentencing (he was getting 5 years min) he had legged it. That was over a year ago and not been seen since.

Up to the point where the police let him slip through their buttery fingers, they were superb - I even got my three missing alloys back they found at his house
