City of Dallas keeps $2000 found by honest teen!

[deepskyal]

I'd be in for a buck.

Just a FYI tho...a follow up is in the article where some anonymous donor gave the teen money to help them out but it didn't say how much. News later it says.

Ok guys, I just spoke with the reporter Carig Cavile, he is getting massive amounts of calls, in regard to this. He was in the middle of a follow-up story, I could hear, he's got stuff going on, around him. He said he will call me back.

He did advise that the family has set up a trust account for Ashley with Chase Bank.
So, let me wait for his call back. If I do not here from him, by tomorow at latest, then I'll call Chase back, get info.........oh heck, lemme call Chase back right now. I'll be back.............

Ok guys, I just got off the phone with Chase Bank in Dallas, gimme a minute to compose a new post, with all the info I found out. Thanks.

There has been a trust set up through:

Chase Bank of Dallas.
1700 Pacific Ave.
suite L125 Chase Bank
Dallas Texas 75201
ph#: (214) 290-2137

Bruce at bank said, we can mail a check, made out to Ashley Donaldson for donation.
He also advised, we can go to our local Chase Banks and donate to her trust there. He said if there was a problem donating at your local Chase Bank, becuase of bank locality discretions, to just mail the check to them. He would not tell me the name of the trustee or acct info,(policy, and it's understood and appreciated).

Ya'll let me know, if there are any problems, when ya'll stop by the bank.
I'm still waiting for Craig Cavile to call back, he can maybe give us trustee info, I just wanna be sure it goes to the right Ashley Donaldson, (her ears must be ringing burning today)!

I know where MY Chase Bank is, do you?

 

[thrillathahunt]

What about paypal?

 

[Iron Patch]

What about paypal?

Probably the best idea, and each donation sent as a "gift" so there is no fees, or just a minimal sender fee. For this to work it should be sorted out here, then sent as one amount, because no one is going to walk into a Chase to donate a buck or two. (if they even have a Chase)

It's starting to look like giving that 2k back was a pretty good investment.

 

[pat-tekker-cat]

Stupid me, I didn't even ask about Paypal. Bruce didn't seem to be the brigtest bulb in the box, at first, still undecided. (I have something about when ppl do that "Uuuuuhhhh" thing a little too long)The phone # is up there, call the bank, or your local one.

The reason I know where mine is, it's on the way to my favorite metal detecting beach, and I used to mistake it for BofA, and try to pay my c/c there all the time! LOL!

If ya'll want a few bucks from my paypal, ya'll can have it, but I do know how to go into a bank too! hehehehe,
I ain't no scaredy cat!

It should all go to one person, then have them mail a check or better yet go to a Chase Bank and add it to the trust fund in the name of TreasureNet....

Iron Patch, do you want to be the host for the funds? Since it was your idea I think you should get the credit for it, notice I say credit, not the work, if you don't want to do it and no one else steps forward I will do it...........

Although I Agree she was Robbed,
I Believe the School would Rob her also.

It's Obvious She is Easily Manipulated
& The school will convince her it should go to them
for Books Or Charity.

I didn't realize that.........Hummm what if IP sold nice shiney zinc pennies for a dollar.....? If it was donated in the name of TreasureNet and made the local newspaper it would be nice advertising.

Can't be me. My Paypal account has a fairly high volume of payments in and out so would be a real mess to mix these in.

Had no idea either, but right from the start I was just suggesting this and thinking it would be the T-net that would have to take control to get it done right. So with that said I shall leave it as nothing more than an idea to run with, or not.

 

[pat-tekker-cat]

I was not aware of any t-net violation, in this area either, many apologies if we faux pas.

Unless someone wants to be brave enough to pm marc or jeff and bother them with this, we may have to be all on our owns, in what we do, no matter how we do it.

Listen guys, those directions are pretty clear. I kinda wanna back off, not bother the t-net gods, do what I know I gotta do. I dunno.........I ain't trying to be a scaredy cat, I just don't wanna ruffle no one elses feathers, needlessly. Again guys, the rules are pretty clear. I'd just hate to see them come down on us, in a hard way, after last, and this weeks' fiascos. For trying to do a good thing. We are all grown-ups and we no what we have to do and when we have to do it.

Establishments can set their rules in thier worlds, but it don't apply to my world, in my reality.
I know where I'm going tomorow. And I ain't gonna say no more, cause I may be in some kinda violation, again? Good luck guys, I'll be lurken.

wondering if we need to let this little thread slide on down, undetected, but duely noted, till the next injustice to act upon raises it's ugly head

 

[thrillathahunt]

It was a good idea. Would have been great, but I guess we are on our own now with this.

 

[pat-tekker-cat]

It is still a good idea. It is still great, and we all are own our own, save ourselves, and Ashley too.










i'm still trying to let this slide on down

 

[jeff of pa]

My guess it's a Matter of Legalities.

I Know in my area you cannot Collect Donations
for Yourself or anyone else Legally
unless it is done through a Financial Institution,
or Legal Non Profit Entity.

Not sure how this applies on the WWW

Then you also have others who See & Decide they
can start a Collection for something
& Just keep 90% for themselves

 

[Iron Patch]

My guess it's a Matter of Legalities.
Just keep 90% for themselves

Well I guess I could keep track of it in my Paypal. 8)
