PLEASE READ !!!

I stopped at town creek this morning and fished for about a hour. Got home early went to bed to get some sleep before work. My wife comes in and wakes me that two guys just pulled in the driveway. I meet two guys at the door. They ask me my name, I tell them. They proceed to hand me my wallet with all its contents in it and say they found it at town creek in guntersville. Now I live 45 min from town Creek. I want to make it right with these guys. I don’t know where they live but I’d have to guess they drove way out of there way. I gave them 20 bucks cash. I would have given them way more if I would have had it with me. I wanna give these guys a reward. They deserve more than 20 bucks. AtleAst buy the guys breakfast and take them fishing......something !!! Please if you read this or anybody hears this story and can make the connection I ask for your help. 2 guys in there 20’s, blue pickup truck.

My hats off to these fine young gentleman. Maybe there is hope for the younger generation...:biggrin Hope you find out who they are.

Good to know there is still some good people around. They will receive blessings for their good deeds.

Nice to know when their opportunity to “pass it on” they stood TALL. Good to hear you got your wallet back.

Thank you for this post. Awesome to hear that there are still honest / moral people in this world... sadly, this is something you don't get to hear about that much any more. Apparently, even when you think goodness and morality are still flourishing... you'll all too often find there is more to it than meets the eye. As an example of this:

"Last year, the nation was captivated by the seemingly heartwarming tale of a good Samaritan who helped a young woman out of a jam. At first, strangers clamored to repay the man’s kindness. Over the past few months, however, the once inspirational saga has become clouded by allegations that funds were being misdirected. Last week, however, the story took an even more startling turn: It was all a scam.

:yikes :yikes :yikes :yikes

You probably remember the original story. A young woman, Katelyn McClure, reported that she found herself stranded in the city one evening after she ran out of gas. Scared and without any cash, she wasn’t sure what she would do. Eventually, she claimed she was approached by a homeless man, Johnny S. Bobbitt Jr., who used his own last bit of money to buy her gas. The young woman returned to the spot to repay him. The pair struck up a friendship, and eventually the woman started a GoFundMe account to raise money for the man.

The encounter went viral. More than 14,000 donors eventually contributed more than $400,000 to help Bobbitt, an allegedly recovering addict, get back on his feet. Purportedly, McClure and her boyfriend, Mark D’Amico, offered to help Bobbitt restart his life. They promised to help set him up in a new house, as well as get clothes, a cellphone and a computer so that he could work toward finding a job. But what started as a feel-good story began to seem off. Bobbitt eventually claimed he was homeless again and had received very little of the funds earmarked for him. He suggested that McClure and D’Amico had spent the money on a BMW, vacations to California, Florida and Las Vegas, and gambling. McClure and D’Amico initially denied the accusations, claiming that they paid for the car and trips with their own money."

It really gave me faith in humanity. Like mentioned above you don’t find that often in today’s world. I really hope I make a connection with these guys. I really really regret not doing something more for them when they were here. I’m kicking myself for it now

Glad you had a good experience. We were out there at 5am. Fished till 1pm. Someone stole the jack off of my friends trailer so we couldn't even get the trailer off the truck. Awesome

I seen you if that was y’all tied up under town creek bridge. Looked like y’all had the lights going for sure

We were in the big Fisher Hawk. I was filming. We ended up with 24. There was 2 other guys in a Panfish Bass Tracker next to us. They gave us 4 Crappie and 2 nice Catfish. We had fun. We had a heater on the boat so it wasn't too bad. But yeah, everytime he goes something bad happens to his vechile. The last time we went, the 2 guys let his air out of his tires. I've been a thousand times and nothing has ever happened. Someone is just targetting his vehicle I guess. But that was a blessing they did that for you. There are some decent people in this world.

Treshaka, I had the same experience as you did back 30 years ago. I left my wallet at a gas station, and my daughter went by the same place after work and the young man informed her that I had left my wallet there. I went back and congratulated the young man and told him I would advise his manager about his good deed, which I did. Not long after that, I was deployed on a 3 month rotation to Germany. One day the phone rang after I got back, and it was a lady from a credit card company wanting to know when I was going to make a payment on their credit card. I did not, not never had one of their cards. I had my credit union run a credit check on me and guess what? There were thousands of dollars on numerous credit cards in my name! They had got my SSN number off of my military ID and stole my identity. It took me a year to restore my good credit rating.

I hope this doesn't happen to you, but if I were you I would keep a good check on your credit scores, and check my statements closely.
I don't mean to throw a damper on a "feel good" story, but just giving you a heads up.
There are some good people still around, and I hope these 2 young men are some of them.

Good to hear there's some good people out there. Maybe you can find them and take them fishing. Let us know if you find them please. God will bless them even if you don't.
