I think I am just in a mood today, but the lack of respect people have for one another is sickening.

and the attackers are even remotely linked to whatever telephone number the records indicate was dialed by the good samaritan, they'll be busted for sure. Dumba** criminals.

instead of just not giving a reward. I would say that it seems more likely that the woman was demanding money before returning the phone, which is a crime.

A lot of people are under the very mistaken impression that the law is "finder's keepers" regarding mislaid property.

The story is sort of old, I wonder how it turned out.

locate the man.

as I was driving along, I noticed something lying on a curve on the road. I stopped to pick it up.

Found it was a business folder. It didn't have anything which specifically said who owned it, but I did notice that there were a few cards with the same name/business on them.

LOTS AND LOTS OF BUSINESS account information. I knew that whomever it belonged to would be in deep doo-doo if it was known that it was just out there.

I couldn't immediately call the person at the time. Had to wait until I got home later that night.

Called the person, who was grateful that it was found. I arranged a meeting with him the next morning (before business hours) at a local eatery.

I handed him his folder and wished him well, turning to leave. He refused to let me leave just yet, reached into his pocket and peeled off 3 $20 bills.

Honestly, I was just happy to get it back to him and keep him from getting in trouble. But he insisted I take the money. I felt good without the "reward" ... but I put it to good use.

would serve them right to be arrested.
