[QUOTE="donna723, post: 201357, member: 1883"] Ha! I was on the other end of the same kind of thing last Saturday! I always buy several mums to put on my porch every fall and I went to this real 'down-home' type place that always has good ones. They had hundreds of them outside in all different colors. I always pick through them like my life depended on getting [I]exactly[/I] the right ones in the right colors. I was looking for the ones that still had a lot of buds on them so they would be in bloom longer. I finally picked out two yellow ones, two bright purple ones, and one huge white one the size of a washtub! You have to go inside to pay so I put the five I had picked out next to my car and went in to pay. When I came out here was this [I]woman[/I] picking up one of MY purple mums and checking it out! Of course, she didn't know that it was MINE, but I wanted to roll her all over that parking lot! But I didn't! I just kind of laughing said, "I just paid for those ..." She actually was a very nice lady. And I clued her in that I had already been to Wal Mart and they didn't have diddly squat as far as mums go! I really believe though that most people are honest. My kids once made the trip from Tennessee to Orlando and back by themselves when they were teenagers. When they were leaving to come home my daughter stopped at that big service plaza outside of Orlando to fill up with gas and made the mistake of setting her wallet on the roof of her car while she put the gas in! She didn't miss it until they were almost out of gas again and stopped to fill up! They made it home on pocket change! All the money she had was in her wallet, plus all her ID - figured it was gone for good! At least a [I]two[/I] [I]months[/I] later a big brown envelop came, addressed to my daughter! And inside it was her wallet with all her ID still in it, and all the money was still there too - minus the exact amount of the postage it took to send it to her! There was no return address so we have no idea who found it or where they found it ... but they DID go to all the trouble to return it! I was amazed! [/QUOTE]
