A couple of days ago, I got that old urge to go out and swing a little. Since the ground is frozen pretty hard here, I thought that I would go over to a close lake, and see what I could find there. They've dropped the water level a few feet as they want to work on some of the shore lines this spring. Anyway, there are now some dry areas that are usually under water. Started working a big area, and the first item I found was a Zebco fishing reel, in perfect shape. The grandson loved it. The next item was a key chain containing a set of car/truck keys, house keys, and misc. other items. A short distance from them, I found a cell phone, and near it was 3 cell phone batteries. Brought everything home and started cleaning them up. The keys went into the tumbler, and cleaned up great. Noticed that one of the plastic attachments was to a close by store, so I went over there today and they gave me an name and address for their plastic key.
I tracked the person down, and he stopped by the house, and said that the items belonged to his daughter. She and 2 other girls had gone to their senior prom last November, and left their purses in the one girls car. A window had been knocked out of the car, and all 3 purses had been stolen. Not only was the keys hers, but so was the cell phone. He went on to say that they had checked on getting another computer key for their Dodge truck, or a new ignition key system and keys, but they were told that it would cost at least $500, and he was also afraid that they were going to have to put all new locks in their house. Now, this would not be necessary. A reward was offered, but refused.
The below photos are of the items before I cleaned them. After he left, I went back over to the lake to see if I could find anymore items, but nothing was found that compared to these items. This was the first time that I have ever been able to find something that I could return to the rightful owner.
Hope all of you had good days too. HH
