A while back i was at a meeting at Panera Breads. I had used my cell phone when i was there and when i got home i immediately noticed that i no longer had my phone. I called my cell phone several times and there was no answer. I called Panera and asked them to look around for it. They did and didnt find it. I felt like I had lost a part of me and i wanted it back. All my photos contacts messages, they all meant so much to me. I called Panera's again at 6am the next morning and they stilll did not find it. They told me that they wouldnt look in the parking lot though and informed me that the street sweeper had come thru earlier that morning and if it was there it most likely got swept up. My last didtch effort was to go there and look for myself. Nothing turned up so I went home. When I arrived there was a message on my answering machine saying that they were at Panera early this morning and wanted to return my phone. They lived about 5 miles away but were going to be in the town next to me in a little while and could I meet them? Of course I was happy to hear this great news. I grabbed a friend of mine and we drve to pick it up. The gentleman was so kind, I offered a reward but he declined. So we thanked him and wished him well.It felt so good to have someone be so kind in this world today.
Anyways about a month ago, I was driving and saw something shiny in the road that a car in front of me had hit. It was spinning around and I knew it was someones lost phone. I stopped and grabbed it, took it home, and tried to find a contact person. No one was listed. Ten minutes later someone called and asked for Michelle. I explained that this was not Michelle but I had found her phone and how could I reach her. They gave me her work number and when I contacted her, she didnt even know her phone had been missing! Shortly afterward she came to my house to pick it up and was genuinely grateful. I told her how I had felt when i lost my phone and it felt good to give her her phone back!
So it went full circle!!
