What did I find this week?

Waiting on Some Karma

Good evening folks. This week had a little excitement to it. In addition to the $6.11 I found, I came across a stamp (yay!), the 4 of diamonds (which I needed!), a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses (which I just did a quick eBay search for and it looks like they are worth something!) and a Blackberry phone.

I found the phone on Friday morning on the street in Wrigleyville. I checked out the text messages to see if I could get in contact with the owner, and he had, in fact, texted himself with a contact number to reach him at if you found the phone. Good tip to everyone - do this, it's easy to find the info if someone does want to return your phone.

In the text, he said he would give $200 to return the phone. I called and spoke to him and just said I wanted him to get his phone back. We met up at a Starbucks and I gave it to him for nothing in return - he did offer to buy me Starbucks though. I didn't need anything from him because I wasn't that inconvenienced, but now I am looking for some nice karma - perhaps in the form of some nice paper money finds... We shall see.

Next week I will be on vacation, so I won't have an update next Sunday. Hopefully I will have some good finds to share the following week. Have a great week everyone!
