Great story!!! You are setting a FINE example for your "pool sharks", they may not understand now but leading by example like you are will help lead your children in the right direction, and thats the best we can do as parents...lead by example. Am glad both the jeweler and insurance company rewarded you for your honesty, not all do or will and its nice to know that there are still companies out there with integrity. WTG!!!!

Congratulations on doing the right thing! You are a shining example of what this hobby can do. I am sure it feels much better having that reward in hand than stolen jewelry. ;D

That is almost as cool as that 1918 Mercury dime I found....I said almost ;) Great story and pictures. Your kids will take another 20 or so years before they understand your motives. Congrats on the REward. Happy unting!!

Congrats on doing the right thing! I would have given it back also, except I would have kept one or two things for myself and my wife.

Glad to hear the insurance company took care of you ~ a thousand bucks ain't chicken feed!

Great Story.....

Many Kudos!! Some people just talk the talk - you walk the walk, too!

Your gift to your pool sharks was immeasurable, and will live on in them long after you are gone. It is the best gift a man can give his children, and they will pass it along to theirs.
