I have two stories and one is amazing.....
1) My Dad who is now not with us, stopped to get fuel when he was 89 yrs. old in his Mercury. For some reason he put his wallet on the top of the pump after using the credit card. After filling, he drove off. Somebody gave the wallet to the clerk and nothing was taken, he was lucky and appreciative.
This is the wild story... (TRUE)....
2) Back in the mid 80's when my youngest sister was in her late teens she drove over to my Dad's business and parked in the back of his shop. Our family/relatives had been in that neighborhood since 1919 so they were well known. Like most old neighborhoods in a downtown area, blight had taken over so it turned into a poor community but my Dad's business had a very good following.
Someone had smashed the window of my sister's Nissan Stanza stealing her purse (you know young kids don't think).... Well, my Dad put word on the street that the purse was his daughters and he wanted that purse back. Do you know it came back in tact...nothing taken. They really respected my Dad and family.
Safe travels,
MM.
