On New Year's Day, there was no mail pick-up, so I dropped a couple packages (eBay sales) off at the post office. On my way back to the parking lot, I glanced down and spotted a Visa Card on the sidewalk. I looked around but there was not another soul around. I picked it up, brought it home with me and called the card company. They confirmed it was an active card and had not been reported lost or stolen. I gave them the info, they cancelled the card and asked me to destroy it. They said they'd notify the customer and issue him a new card. I then took the old card and ran it through my shredder.
TODAY, Lynn and I stopped at Wally World to pick up a couple items and on the way out, I looked down and spotted a MasterCard on the sidewalk in front of the store! I called the issuing bank and again, it had not been reported lost or stolen! I figured they'd cancel it as the other company did, but they took my information (name and phone number) and said they'd try to contact the owner and see if he was in the area and could pick it up. WTF? Maybe I should go to a nice dinner first and fill my truck with gas ... I mean, the info I gave 'em was Bucky's name and number anydamnway! :D
I suppose if I don't hear from anybody within a few days, I'll grind this one also. Dang! If I weren't such an honest moron, I'd have had a pretty successful week!
