Tonight I received a phone call from a complete stranger saying they had found several gift cards and wanted to return them to rightful owners.  They were at a timeshare.

I had bought them online for my daughter and son in law and had given them the receipt along with the cards.  My name and phone number were on the receipt and that was how they found me.

I called my daughter at the timeshare where they are staying, gave them the number of these wonderful, honest people and the cards were returned to them.  Acts of total honesty like this restore your faith in humanity.  We were all truly blessed this evening.

How beautiful. I think maybe there are way more  honest, decent person than we realize.

With all the bad news in the world, it's nice to hear a story like yours.  Thanks for sharing.

That was nice, but how did they manage to lose several gift cards all at the same time? Where did that person find them?

I think there are a lot of good honest decent people in the world we just don't usually hear about them because they don't sell news or magazines. It is wonderful what they did and I am so glad the gift cards were returned.

I had just given them to them this afternoon and they were all placed in a little  plastic lunch bag to be used for their vacation here this week.  They were found on the timeshare property where they are staying.

I think it's sad if, as a society, we've reached a point where, if someone is honest, we find that amazing.  

Shouldn't being honest be something that we expect as the norm and being dishonest isn't the norm?????

[yasushi]

Totally agree gidgetgh!  And it's especially annoying when people get upset if a monetary reward is not given for doing the right thing.  I remember the days when a clean conscience was sufficient reward.

The norm?  No such thing.  We don't hear about every act of honesty.  I think the OP was just happy and wanted to share.  Someone always needs to find a negative in a nice post.

I’m not being negative to the post or the OP. I just think it’s a sad state of affairs if we’re amazed by honesty. 

I don’t know how the gift gift cards got lost, but I’m glad they got them back.
