Ronald and Imogene Crowder pose with Yekaterina Shneyderova, who returned $2,000 to the couple, and Value Village District Manager Lance Letson
I wish I had the luck to meet her.
God made Adam & Eve & then he threw in a few folks like this young lady.
Why would you not? Who wants to go to hell for $2,000? The other day, I realized the preschool nursery at the gym had forgotten to charge me for my sons while I was weightlifting, and I went in and told them to mark off $2.
Who wouldn’t?
For some reason, finding money runs in my family. My dad found, I think, $50 (a lot at the time) on the counter at a bank once. He turned it in, the police took it for a while, then the bank felt like it belonged to them, though they couldn’t prove it. He ended up getting it, though he waited over a year for it.
Once I was in the airport and went to the restroom. Some guy had left a bunch of bills and, thankfully, his business card, in a stall. I had a while before my flight and went about tracking him down. We finally met up, and I gave it all to him. He offered me some, but I declined. I didn’t have anything to do, so the 30 or so minutes of entertainment was payment enough!
Just a couple of days ago a friend of mine dropped a money clip at Costco and didn’t know it until he was home. We went back there the next day and they had it in lost and found, with all 14 dollars still clipped in. We were both shocked but happy. Maybe the world isn’t as bad as it seems at times.
Good to hear that people still know what the right thing to do is, and do it. Most excellent.
There is a saying, “There is no right way to do a wrong thing.”
The trouble today is that many among us are clueless about what is right and what is wrong. If something benefits them in some way, then for them that makes it right. As such, many people in this world shall remain, despite whatever material possessions they may accrue, the poorest of all humans.
Good to know that there are still those who know what is truly important and aren’t afraid to live life to the fullest.
