Last month, while getting dressed in the morning I couldn't find my
watch, Last time I remembered seeing it was putting it in my gym bag
the evening before at the gym. With little hope I stopped by the gym
on the way to work and lo and behold, some kind soul had turned it into
the lost and found. Not a big deal if this was a cheap digital but it
is an Omega SpeedMaster (about $1500 to replace)that had a tremendoous
amount of sentimental attachment as it was given to me by my
Granfdfather upon recieving my Naval Flight Officer wings. This gym is
not in a particulary great area of Baltimore. Sure gives you hope for
the future and humanity.

Amen,

I few months ago I got home and realized i had misplaced my cell phone.
I called the 2 places I had stopped and neither had seen it. My being
of the distrusting sort, I called my carrier and stopped the service.

2 hours later i get a call on my house phone, I had dropped it at my
mailbox and as this person drove by they had seen it and picked it up.
they had searched through the internal phone book and called the "home"
number. I offered to come and get it but they said they would be going
out later and would drop it off. they too declined compensation, said
it was just the right thing to do.

there are a few left but not too many.
