Yesterday I was out running errands, and I had to stop to get gas. Let me just say that I HATE getting gas because filling my tank costs almost as much as 1/2 of a pair of designer jeans. I know, I know...that is ridiculous! So as I was filing my tank, I am thinking, "great...there goes the right leg of the new jeans I want!" Obviously my mind was wandering and I was not focusing on the task at hand. (You will see later why this was a problem.) When my tank was full, I printed my receipt, hopped in my car and drove off to finish my errands.
At the next stop, I got my wallet out to pay and noticed that my credit card was not in its designated home. Now those who know me well know that I am the type of person who keeps everything in the exact spot where it belongs at ALL times. So there was NO way that I had stuck my card somewhere else. I checked my purse anyway, and my car with no luck. Crap! Now I start panicing!
Are you kidding me that I lost my credit card at a gas station, of all places! That is about the easiest place to use a credit card that is not yours, so I was praying that whoever found it turned it in without running up the bill, but felt that my chances were pretty slim. I sped back to the station and searched the ground. No card! Double crap! So I went inside and asked the guy if anyone had turned in a credit card. To my surprise, he said YES! I could not believe that someone turned in my card! It was my lucky day for sure!
Will all of the identity theft going on these days, I want to give a shout out to the person who did the right thing and turned in my card! You helped restore my faith in humanity!
**Side note: I really DO think that most people out there are good people. But bottom line...when you lose your credit card you never know what will happen...

TC- come on girl, you live in Spokane. We're all good people here. :-) So glad you found your VISA, don't try this however if you drop cash, that may actually not be turned in!
XOXO
There are some great people in this world - most of them are in my opinion. I'm glad it didn't turn out to be a big hassle for you. Yeah!
If you ever find the person maybe you could buy them a pair of jeans:) Glad it didn't turn into a big hassle. I once though I lost my wallet, canceled all my cards and then found it. Now that was a hassle.
