She's right of course, but a few bucks would have been a nice gesture.
This is non biking but relates to returning an item for someone. On a plane I was on taking off in Jacksonville Florida, someone left a book in the seat pocket and it had the person's mailing address in it (the bookmark). I mailed the book to him and received a nice thank you letter from him. He couldn't believe that his book made it back to him. He said something along the lines of his faith was restored to humanity or something like that.
Sorry no good finds yet from biking....not even a penny after thousands of miles!
