Golden opportunity...sorry, not for you.

I was driving down one of my back road haunts today and from a distance I see what looks like a promising pile of trash. A couple of vacuum cleaners a TV a microwave an a few other small kitchen appliances. I pull over and can see from a ways off that they all still have their cords so I am think good deal. As I get up to them I see a piece of paper with the words "Easter Seals" written on it. I our area we have an Easter seals charity that will pick up stuff left over from garage sales etc. I'm sure some people might have grabbed them anyway but I couldn't. They were set out for someone specific and that someone was not me. Hopefully Karma rewards me.

Good to know there are people out there with good conscience and common sense. You did the right thing and I hope others will follow your example. We all regret the days when you could set things out and not get them taken by others, same goes for handshake agreements and other common courtesies. Doing right should never go out of style. Thanks!
