So, today's litter find...

[634-5789]

I'm out there hitting it hard, nice weather and cool, perfect picking weather, and I came across a dark brown trucker's wallet, would have never seen ot since it blended in so well. I opened it up, it had been there for sometime and it had the motorcycle registration, the license of the owner and $600 cash. Yeah. Since I know the area i checked my vehicles GPS and this guy lived about 1/2 mile from where I found it. He was thrilled to get it back, although the contents were a little muddy, and moist. The kicker: The State had mowed Friday, and so I picked that area on purpose so as to keep the tick infestation at a miimum. Oh, yeah I filled 8 bags today and a sofa back bolster which the mower got.

1. Good on you! Was there even a mention of a reward?

I know if a volunteer litter picker-upper found my wallet with $600 in it, (ya that's not likely), I would have offered him/her at least $100. After all I was down $600 and would have $0 if the person didn't find it.

3. Dear Fla.... That's how it worked in the olden days.

But not so much today. Sigh.

I’m with you on this.

4. Yeah he offered $100, his wife offered lunch...

but I never take anything. I did ask him to please not litter, and that's about all I care about.

5. I'm glad they offered. You're a good person not to accept.

Many would have accepted and there’s nothing wrong with that. What you do/did should be rewarded, but some of us get our rewards in different ways.

6. I was told years ago not to accept anything except water.

2. Thank you for all that you do. A most fortuitous find.
