Despite many bad things that have happened in the world lately, I wanted to share that my faith in humanity was restored today when a neighbor found my jewelry and returned it after I posted some signs around my neighborhood.
I was walking my dog this afternoon and stuck my hand in my jacket pocket to discover that I taken off my emerald pendant and earrings that I wore on St. Paddy’s a few days ago, and stuffed them in my jacket. Since the jacket had shallow side pockets, I decided to put the pendant and earrings in a pocket on the inside of the jacket. When I got home, I stuck my hand into the inside pocket to make sure to take the jewelry out and put it in my jewelry box. To my horror, the inner pocket was not an actual pocket, there was no bottom seam and the jewelry had slipped right through and fallen out somewhere on my dog walking route.
My husband and I went searching up and down the street in a panic, and he even rode his bike around our entire route several times looking for it. I decided to post fliers along our small residential neighborhood, along our route, asking if anyone found jewelry that I consider sentimental, and if so, to please call or text my number. Lo and behold, I received a text within 1 hour of posting the fliers, and my neighbor who lives about 10 houses down text me to let me know her husband found it, and told me to come pick it up anytime. I didn’t post a reward or anything, but I brought them my most expensive bottle of red wine as a thank you. I don’t know what my jewelry was worth, but because it was a gift from my parents, it meant everything to me. I feel so blessed to have such great neighbors and the best part, the necklace and both earrings were found together, and intact. I’m one lucky gal! My green emerald set must be my lucky charms.
Any great stories of great people you want to share?
