It happened for a reason, cart with products found in parking lot.

That was so wonderful of you!

I forgot my purse in a shopping cart once and only noticed half way home. I raced back and it was gone. I went inside to customer service and thankfully someone brought it in!!

I apologize for the long post in advance.
DH and I were at Canadian Tire today, looking for parts for his truck. After we were quoted, I felt it was too high, and wanted to try another automotive parts place.
We have a store credit at CT, but still wanted to get the best price. So across the city we drove, and found out the other place was much higher, so back to CT we went.
We picked up the parts, and I also got a rain check for the Royale TP, it is on sale for $4.67.
As we were driving out of the parking lot, I saw a cart with a set of Logostina pots and pans and a bag. There were no vehicles by the cart, and I thought maybe it was someones garbage. I have seen some nasty garbage in parking lots. Asked DH to stop, the box was sealed and I peeked in the bag and everything was new in packages.
So I took the cart into the store, the Cashier was so grateful, she said that she remembered the woman who had bought the items, and had noticed her in the lot talking to another woman. She said to me ``not many people would have done what you did``.
See things happen for a reason, me being cheap and determined to get the best price, the right place at the right time. Could you imagine the poor woman when she got home, to realize that she left her purchases in the parking lot, the pots and pans were on sale of 139.00. I would have flipped out big time.
A few years ago, in the space of two weeks, I also found 2 purses left in carts in parking lots, 1 at WalMart and 1 at IGA. I was so nervous to walk them back into the store, each time I held them at arms length, not wanting to be accused of theft. Both times my son`s were with me, and laughing when I got back into the car, they thought that it looked so funny. It is was a good lesson for my kids to see that I practice what I preach.
Just because you find some thing that someone lost, does not make it yours.
I know I feel better when I do the right thing, as I have to look myself in the mirror everyday.

You are a STAR! WTG! As you say, we do what is right, and are great role models with our kids!

WTG. Kindness always finds it way back.

I had that discussion at work one time. One of the guys said that if he found a wallet or purse he would keep it. I told him that is why you will never find one. The funny thing about it was, we all went to lunch that day and at the entrance of the building I found a wallet. I check out the id. and when I entered the restaurant I asked if there was a so-and-so having lunch. They guy didn't even know he had lost his wallet. He was grateful but my co-worker still insisted that I should have kept it. Some people never learn.

I LOVE this brag...kudos and great karma to you OP!!
DH lost his wallet 2 weeks ago, knew exactly where (he had just left the one place he used it). Got back there within 3 mins and it was GONE! The cashier said someone was asking about a wallet?? Long story short, there was a car full of people who were there when he was the first time and they claim not to have found it. Too bad for them...I had a prety nice cash reward waiting in my hand, there was NO cash in the wallet, all cards were cancelled within 15 mins, and we have protection on our credit reports...nothing of any value!

So back to your great brag...the purpose of my post is just to confirm that karma actually does work in strange ways! I am SO happy there are people like you out there, re-affirms my faith in humanity after what happened to DH! WTG!!

I once sent my DH to get groceries (no coupons for the trip, except the diapers) and he accidentally forgot the box of diapers on the botton rack of the cart.. He went back and CS told him that he was the 3rd person that day to do that lol

good job

[Miss Molly]

I would have done the same thing because I know how I'd feel if I forgot something. Good grief I'm turning 50 next year and in the past month I've almost forgotten my card in the bank machine twice and I also left my keys in the door of my post office box once! So do unto others is definitely my motto!!

[mamatotwo]

I like these kind of brags. Thank you. Your boys are watching and they will practise what you preach. When my dd was about 5 she came out of a bathroom stall at the mall with an older lady's purse. She knew even then that she should find the rightful owner. After we took it to administration in the mall she told everyone we knew what she had done. We are now working on being humble. lol.

Wow, wow, wow, hugs to everyone for all the kind words, reps and thumbs ups. Thank you so much, I will have this warm & fuzzy feeling for a long time. I am at a bit of a loss for words at the moment......

That is great that there are still some honest people left in the world I nearly lost $100 in the Wal-mart parking lot the other day. I was so shaken, I nearly wet my pants I had it in my hand as I was walking through the parking lot but when we got to the vehicle, it was gone. I have no idea how it left my hand without me noticing. My dad was with me and we both went running through the parking lot. I found it blowing around in the breeze between two cars. I am so glad we managed to find it all in time. That was scary. I bet the lady will be forever grateful for your kindness.

Good for you!!!

[SAM2BOYZ]

Good for you!!! Left a purse when I stopped to dress my son for winter weather while leaving Sears. I had just picked up my gift cards for Xmas and had 200 cash in it. Someone dropped it off at a checkout untouched.

Awesome brag! Very kind of you!
