While hauling wood down on Rt 1 in waldoboro,maine this morning i heard 2 guys talking about a wallet lying in the road! I didn't know which road they was on,so i just kept my eyes open! A mile or so down the road i spotted it in the road! Had to pull my loaded westernstar over. It was a womens billfold, with all her cards and everything in it including one packet of 10 one hundred dollar bills along with five hundred or so in other bills! It was a woman from Mass! I took it to the pd in town and found out it was a woman vacationing in owls head maine! I took her name off a card that said she was on the board of directors of the mass horiculture socity! I called them and the guy called her on her cell, SHE Was some happy! I got a call from her wanting to reward me and i said a thank you will do! Maybe good Karma will come my way someday! ;D

I found a chiansaw in the road once. He was on his way back and glad to see it was me. I can only imagine how happy she was or is.

Nice story woodhauler.  It does give a person some special confidence when you have done the right thing. 

Sometimes bad news is like a steady drum.   It is nice to hear some cheer!  I like to think I would do the same thing.  I like to think others would do that for me.

Thanks for sharing. 

Now, watch out for that Karma! 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Pay back will come. All things come back the good you do for others and bad that others do will return to them

With today's tough times, it would sure be tempting to some to just pocket the cash.

Good to see there are still honest people out there.

Hopefully your good deeds come back to you.

WH, great job!   

I see where the Deputy DA get her good blood!  I know this makes you feel great!  It will come back around.

Very nice !!   A few years ago  a couple of young lads down the road from me decided to have some fun.  They took an old large purse that their mother wasn't using anymore and filled it with dog doodoo.  Then they left the purse in plain view on the side of the road.  They hid in the bushes and waited for cars to stop and pick it up.  One old timer stopped his pickup opened the door and grabbed the purse.  He wasn't very far when he threw it out the window over the roof of the truck !!!!!   Later I told him I heard that he came across a s**t load of money !!!!!   ;D

my ex stopped to check a purse in the road. as soon as she reached for it some kids in the bushes pulled it away with a string attached to it. not quite as funny as the doggy do but easier to reset the trap for the next victim tho.

Hey Woodhauler, nice going! You just made me feel good. I love to hear good stories like that. I read your post to my wife and it made her smile. She said it was so good to hear of somebody doing something good and kind for a change. I can just imagine the relief that woman must have felt when she got the news. Woodhauler, you are a man of good character.      Thanks for sharing,  Cutter

Woodhauler, you made two people mighty happy, plus set a great example.  I hope they will pass on what you did for them to others.  There's nothing that can make a person feel any better than the appreciation of those they helped. Two thumbs up to you! 8)
