Goodness of strangers: return of lost item

[solobiker]

My Mom lost her camera on one of the trips we took as a whole family. I think it was about 30 years ago..pre digital camera days. She was pretty upset about it and sad that she did not have the pictures from our trip to the western states. Well..about 1 month after our return home my Mom recieved a package in the mail. It was of her camera with the developed photos!! Someone had found her camera, developed the pictures and was able to see the license plate numbers on one of the pictures. She said she went to the police department to track down our address.

Wow, Solobiker, that's quite a story.

We were on our honeymoon, a self guided bike tour through France, Italy, Germany. After arriving in the Paris airport, putting our bikes together and cycling out (almost getting killed in the Paris traffic) we went for supper in a Paris pub where I left my small bag. It had all of my cash, credit card and passport. Went back 2 hours later and it had been turned in to the bartender, untouched. Saved my new marriage I think.

I wish I had a happy ending lost-and-found story to tell.
I accidentally left a very nice fountain pen at one of the registers at Whole Foods on Sunday. When I got to my car, I realized the pen was missing, so re-traced my steps back to the register. The guy who had been bagging groceries said, "Oh, yeah, I found it and turned it in at Customer Service." He goes with me to Customer Service, and the two women there claim to have never seen it. He questioned them and looked all over for it, but they stuck to their story and the pen wasn't found. Looks like one of those Customer Service girls decided to give herself a nice fountain pen for Christmas.
