    Default PLEASE READ !!!

    I stopped at town creek this morning and fished for about a hour. Got home early went to bed to get some sleep before work. My wife comes in and wakes me that two guys just pulled in the driveway. I meet two guys at the door. They ask me my name, I tell them. They proceed to hand me my wallet with all its contents in it and say they found it at town creek in guntersville. Now I live 45 min from town Creek. I want to make it right with these guys. I don’t know where they live but I’d have to guess they drove way out of there way. I gave them 20 bucks cash. I would have given them way more if I would have had it with me. I wanna give these guys a reward. They deserve more than 20 bucks. AtleAst buy the guys breakfast and take them fishing......something !!! Please if you read this or anybody hears this story and can make the connection I ask for your help. 2 guys in there 20’s, blue pickup truck.

    Nice to know when their opportunity to “pass it on” they stood TALL. Good to hear you got your wallet back.
    Pass the "Sportsman Baton" on before you're gone, promote values for others to hunt and fish upon.

    Thank you for this post. Awesome to hear that there are still honest / moral people in this world... sadly, this is something you don't get to hear about that much any more. Apparently, even when you think goodness and morality are still flourishing... you'll all too often find there is more to it than meets the eye. As an example of this:

    "Last year, the nation was captivated by the seemingly heartwarming tale of a good Samaritan who helped a young woman out of a jam. At first, strangers clamored to repay the man’s kindness. Over the past few months, however, the once inspirational saga has become clouded by allegations that funds were being misdirected. Last week, however, the story took an even more startling turn: It was all a scam.



    You probably remember the original story. A young woman, Katelyn McClure, reported that she found herself stranded in the city one evening after she ran out of gas. Scared and without any cash, she wasn’t sure what she would do. Eventually, she claimed she was approached by a homeless man, Johnny S. Bobbitt Jr., who used his own last bit of money to buy her gas. The young woman returned to the spot to repay him. The pair struck up a friendship, and eventually the woman started a GoFundMe account to raise money for the man.

    The encounter went viral. More than 14,000 donors eventually contributed more than $400,000 to help Bobbitt, an allegedly recovering addict, get back on his feet. Purportedly, McClure and her boyfriend, Mark D’Amico, offered to help Bobbitt restart his life. They promised to help set him up in a new house, as well as get clothes, a cellphone and a computer so that he could work toward finding a job. But what started as a feel-good story began to seem off. Bobbitt eventually claimed he was homeless again and had received very little of the funds earmarked for him. He suggested that McClure and D’Amico had spent the money on a BMW, vacations to California, Florida and Las Vegas, and gambling. McClure and D’Amico initially denied the accusations, claiming that they paid for the car and trips with their own money."

    Quoted from Forbes Article, "New Twist To Homeless Man GoFundMe Story: It Was All A Scam" by Kelly Phillips Erb = Senior Contributor


    GREAT STORY!!! Thanks for sharing. I will be anxious to hear if you find out the identity of these young men... and what else you do to make your appreciation clear to them.

    It really gave me faith in humanity. Like mentioned above you don’t find that often in today’s world. I really hope I make a connection with these guys. I really really regret not doing something more for them when they were here. I’m kicking myself for it now
