Unbelieveable

c3006 · 12-18-2009, 06:51 PM

Last nite after working 14 hrs I was trying to get started home about 10:30. I ran in to the store and grabed the deosit bags one that had about $7000 in cash and the second with $1000 in cash and $5000 in checks,I went out to my truck and stoped to unhook a trialer which gave me the normal amount of trouble comeing off the ball meanwhile laying the deposit bags on the bedcover,you guessed it I drove off with them back there and thought no more about it till this morning at which time I went to the store and looked everywhere hopeing I layed them somewhere else all the while knowing what I did. As soon as it got light me and a friend started retraceing my path home hopeing by some chance I would find them by the road,about halfway through the trip my guy at the store called and told me the garbage man droped off the bags he found by the road this morning without a penny missing. I asked him to wait till I could get back but he told my guy he had to get back to work. Dont ask I promise I hunted him down and rewarded him well. I needed this little boost in my faith in humanity and just thought I would pass it along to you guys. Merry Christmas c

Clint,

I've never given up on people. This just confirms my theory. That's great to hear, but it does tend to create a bit of a pucker factor.

The more people I meet the more I like my dog.

You might have to reconsider your verse....
