[Milsurplus] Unexpected Kindness. OT

[Peter Gottlieb]

I've seen that happen in NYC.  Many urban areas around the world are "cities of 
neighborhoods" with lots of good people.  During a terrible time my mother was 
driving through Harlem (highways clogged by accidents) and had a flat.  A couple 
of big dudes came out of a bar, she decided to run away to some store.  They 
eventually found her, having already changed the tire.  They refused even buying 
them a round for their help.

A couple of shipmates and I had finished a hour's beer drinking and eating at a small downtown restaurant.  After we left and got almost a city block away, we heard someone yelling at us and waving something.  One of waiters was carrying my buddy's wallet with mil ID and Geneva Convention card and about $100 US and 500 Danish kroner.  My buddy had dropped it at the restaurant...the waiter went to the trouble of chasing us down and returning it completely intact.
