[Hey, You!] Friendly Frogger

Thank you, mystery guy, for stopping on the freeway to pick up my saddle bags and spare helmet that had fallen off of my motorcycle earlier that day. Apparently, you were so compelled to help out a stranger you ran out into traffic to pick them up, playing what must have been a real-life version of Frogger with the cars. Was it fate you happened to live in the same neighborhood as the condo I just moved out of, and even more fateful I left my registration in my bags with that address, so all you had to do to get them back to me was walk a few feet from your front door? Who knows, but whatever the reason, I sincerely thank you, not just for returning my stuff, but for also returning my faith in humanity.

    This was my submission. I am so happy to have my story published for exactly the reasons the first post mentioned. I feel that people are mostly good but when my stuff was returned to me I got a really great boost in faith in people. The lady who lives in the condo the stuff was returned to told me that the guy just said, "I knew someone would be missing this stuff terribly", so he did what he did.

    I agree with the other poster. It's nice to read about an uplifting act for once.

    the television news - BAD news. the internet news - BAD news. the newspaper news - BAD news. hey you!(12/22/09) - GOOD news. wouldn't it be wonderful if there were more people like this man ? wouldn't it be wonderful if we wished for peace and got it? (guess that's pushing it, huh?) BUT, if we had more people like the above mentioned man, maybe peace would be within our grasp. thank you and happy new year to that gentleman!
