The Lady and I were returning from a Dr. visit a couple days ago. For some reason she took off her 2 gold necklaces and layed them in her lap and dozed off for a bit. We live next to a marina, We both got out of the truck, her from the passenger side. I walked down to a boat, and she drove the truck home.
I'm sitting back enjoying a brew at our tiki hut, she walks in crying. Her necklaces appearantly landed in the parking lot. Not to be found. She lost sleep that night. The next day she put up some reward signs around the Marina, the Village Grocer, and the restaurant. Kimi is well loved around here and in no time we had all the boaters spreading the word. 1 Necklace in particular was given to her by her sons, and very expensive.
Two guys approached an older couple that walk thru our marina daily. We usually don't allow strangers walking thru but they seemed harmless. Our buddies questioned them about finding any jewlery and there was a reward. The couple asked what the reward was. Our buds told them $50. The couple described the necklaces, and for $100 they will be right back. Demanding the reward really PO'd my buds.
After a heated discussion where one of our buds stated he would kick some butt, and the other threatened to burn their house down, if the jewlery wasn't returned. Within 5 minutes they had the goods in their hands. The couple wisely declined the reward.
Several of us were sitting at the tiki when our buds returned her jewlery. We have some pretty tough charactors around here and when the tears of joy started flowing from Kimi.....we all followed.
Karma set in that day. You mess with one boater around here.....you mess with all of us!
A special thanks to Mark and Travis!
