A few years ago, I found a coin purse with $97 in cash inside while walking through a parking lot with my husband on the way to lunch one day. We were in the parking lot where he worked, so we posted a sign inside the building for the owner to call and identify. A woman called a few days later, described the coin purse exactly and knew the exact amount of money. She was quite happy, and I was happy for her, but we were so broke at the time. I'm glad I wasn't tempted.

I found a gold bracelet in a restroom in the Des Moines airport. I took it to an employee who immediately took it saying it was hers. Maybe it really did belong to her.

I found a purse in a movie theater when we were leaving. I took this purse to an employee I knew.

I found a checkbook about a month ago, right before Christmas, in a booth at our local chicken finger hangout. I gave this to the employees who remembered the woman who had been sitting in our booth.

I found a camera in the gulf. Couldn't really return this. It was ruined by the salt water, so I just threw it away.

Last year in Nashville at the Music City Bowl, we were at the Opryland hotel and a small boy walked up to me and asked for help. Apparently, he had lost the young daughter of friends of his parents. He had become very disoriented in the place and couldn't remember which way he had been. While I was looking for security I asked an employee for assistance who was no help at all. This still irritates me. I stayed with him until we walked down the correct hallway and saw the girl with authorities and the parents. Those children were too young to be wandering around alone in that place.
