unknowingly I dropped my wallet in the Wakiki shoping centre car park yesterday , I was down at the bent street boat ramp and wife call me on the mbl " are you missing something" "no don't think so" turns out a woman had found my wallet in the car park and turned up at my place to return it to me and gave it to my wife .She left her address so bought her some flowers and lotto ticket to thank her

It gives you a bit of faith
Things like that help you believe that there are some honest people left in this world, get idea in giving her flowers it's a thoughtful touch.

Great work by whomever wrote
Great work by whomever wrote the note.
Pretty sure that whomever hit you could be done for hit and run, or leaving the scene of an accident.
Some of the stories about Woodies point ramp don't leave you overly confident in some people whom share the same appreciation for getting out on the water, though it is good to see that someone will go out of their way to write a note and make you aware.

Never had so many dark and stormy's on the drive to work to be honest.
Cant even talk straight
Clearly the wrong thread. I was reading the one about the bloke getting hit at Woodies ramp at the same time.

Good to hear Pete.
I wasn't so lucky, lost my phone (can't 100% be sure it was stolen, so I will just say "lost" for now) on Wednesday night at footy training. I got my mate to call it, and funny enough somebody answers! They pretty soon hang up, and it's been switched off since. Here's the interesting bit, it's no use to them, has a pin number for the sim and a pin number for the phone, no point them keeping it cos they can't use it. There were a heap of my business cards in the holder, so they know who it belongs to. What's a used, locked iPhone worth? Next to nothing. Funny thing is, if they contacted me I would give them more as a reward than what they will get at their local dealer.
Glad to hear things worked out better for you Pete!
Cheers,
BD.

On the other hand ......
Got the email from the Marine Dept to check the red flares as there was a recall on some of them. Went to check mine that were in the boat and found some prick had been into mine and done a swap. Mine were due to expire 05/2015 and the ones swapped out expired in 2009. Bastards, I would have had fun explaining that next time at the ramp when being inspected.

Fair dinkum Guardy, that's unreal, where will the mongrels stop. Maybe need to set up some exploding ones in future. Stick of dynamite painted up like a flare.
