they are out there. On Saturday my Dad went out drinking with some of his friends, by 7pm he was drunk and ready to go home, he called us and asked us to get him but we were just about to eat dinner and it would have taken us at least half an hour to get to the casino. So he grabbed a taxi and went home, luckily we decided that we had better go down there and make sure he had gotten inside. Well he couldn't get into the house (he'd left his keys behind where his friends were staying) so had decided to lay down in his carport.
So Dave and I went down there and helped him inside, little did we know until Sunday that Dad had left his mobile phone in the taxi that had brought him home. We had tried calling it, Dad had tried calling it but no one answered. This morning at 8:10 I recieved a phone call from the taxi driver that had dropped Dad off at home. He hadn't found the phone until today because he didn't work Sundays, so all our ringing had gone to waste because there was no-one there to hear it.
Well I organised for the taxi driver to come here and drop it off and I would pay the fare. 20 minutes later I got the phone and the fare was only $39. Considering he would have had to get a new phone, heaps cheaper way to do it. The coolest part was that this man remembered dropping Dad off and that he had taken him to Parkerville and then the coolest thing of all happened he said to me "Did he get inside ok?"
WOW! not only did he remember but he cared enough to ask if he was ok! I don't know how many people this man dropped off after Dad but somehow none of them found the phone, a man who was willing to go out of his way and return it did. In fact someone who was willing to return the phone at all would have amazed me I didn't really think there were many of them left in today's world, but it turns out they do exist.
Hooray for the good souls out there!
