Coda

This is an update to my October 17th post.
Go here to catch up.


It's been 30 days.
I went to Target today to see if anyone had claimed the $200.
What do you think happened?

Yeah, you're right. Someone claimed the cash. That same night.

Now on one hand that could mean the person who lost the cash raced backed to Target after noticing a gaping hole in their jeans and realized they were missing two crisp $100 bills. They got to the store just as the night manager was locking up the front doors. After explaining the situation the manager reluctantly let this person in so they could check with Customer Service. Upon entry they were stunned to find out someone had actually turned in the cash. Gratefully reunited with their $200 they went home and decided to write a letter to the the good people who turned in the money to Lost-and-Found. They wrote a 3 page letter on how thankful they were for people like my wife and I. How without that $200 they wouldn't have been able to buy the medicine for their son Benji's medical condition. How it had restored their faith in humanity, and gave them hope for a better tomorrow.

But then the letter got lost in the mail because they wrote our address down wrong.


On the other hand it could mean Supervisor Girl had a really good time at the Halloween party.


awesome

It's bothersome.
It would be nice if we could remember the story differently, but we're all going to assume that the money found a new home, and agree that the new home could have been your pocket.

Having given this some thought I'd have to say that the lesson learned is that next time...

Well, next time you'll have to do the same damn thing. Next time it'll be harder too.

Good luck with that.
