Honesty

[Tory944]

  I attended a vintage swap meet in N.H. on Sat...   stopped at a service station en route to grab a coffee, etc.  Jumped back in the truck and proceeded.  As I got ten minutes from the swap, I realized my wallet was missing.  You know when something like that happens your heart sinks into your gut.  Well, I called my wife and she called the service station.  No wallet.  I received a call last night after returning home that the wallet was found...   in the trash...  of course missing the $850 cash, credit cards coffee card, etc.  More than the money, my picture military id was still in the wallet (plain view).  Have some respect.  So much for serving our country! 

    So...  this goes out to any/all the dishonest, disrespectful airheads...  Karma will follow you!    I just hope you needed the $$ for your family and not for your drug habit.

Quite a few years ago I had a customer who left her credit card at my store (on a Sunday) and I had no way of getting in touch with her, she was on vacation. She called Monday morning frantic and I told her I had the crd. She was staying in a hotel in Rochester, about 45 miles away with no way to get up to get the card, and was flying out that afternoon. I told her I could drop it at her hotel around 1:00  on my way to my second job which wasn't far from where she was staying.

On the way to the hotel, I was riding my Gold Wing and I ended up crashing and wound up in the hospital, 3 blocks from the hotel. While I was laying in the street waiting for the ambulance, I had one of the policemen get the credit card and deliver it to the hotel. When he got there (after the agree'd 1:00)  she was on the phone bitching out my wife because I was late. The policeman asked if she was so ans so, she said yes what about it?? He gave her the card and said I was in the hospital with multiple broken ribs and a fractured collarbone.  She turned white and gave the phone to the policeman who then told my wife where I was..

Long story short, she got her credit card and I spent a year in recovery. So much for helping out  your fellow man...Hope she enjoyed her trip. never heard from her again. Not even a thanks.  I should have cut up the card and she could have gotten a replacement one form the card company.  Which is what you are supposed to do.

Two terrible stories 

 I have lost my wallet twice. Once I left it on a coin machine at the do it your self car wash, The manager found it that night when he came in to clean. It sat there all day.... I didn't even realize I had left it until he called me.

The second time I did realize I had lost it and looked everywhere, called every place i had been with no luck. The next day a guy called stating he had found it laying in the wal mart parking lot.

 Both times nothing was missing

Sorry to hear about your bad experiences

Last time my Dad, Bro and I went to the Low Buck Vintage Riders show in Crivitz Pops left his wallet on the bar after we bought coffee. Shortly after we left. Upon stopping in Wausaukee he discovered he didn't have his wallet. Oh poopy ! We rush back down to the Gateway Bar in Crivitz to inquire and yes there's his wallet behind the bar. Bartender handed it to him with everything intact, money and all. My experiences with the vintage sledding community has taught me vintage sledders are in general good people. This reassured me. Sorry to hear you weren't treated with the same dignity Tory. I believe as you do that what comes around goes around and people eventually get what they deserve. At some point you'll be repayed in a good way and somone else will suffer a disappointment. There is still plenty of goodness in this world and I hope that one day we'll experience all we can.
