Because I haven't broken out the cheerleaders yet

This heartwarming story comes from one of the regulars - lswgirl13.
With all the bitching and complaining (on the site) I actually have a warm and fuzzy story. Last nite, I'm almost at my stop, all comfy as I have the quad to myself.

I'm getting organized, get my keys out of my purse, put my PRESTO card back in my wallet, put my gloves on, etc. I get into my car (totally unrelated but just to piss Whitby and Oshawa people off, less than 5 minutes from off the train to out of the parking lot!!) and head to the grocery store for a few things.

I get to the cashier, open my purse and yep, NO WALLET. I immediately knew I had left it on the train. My gas tank is nearly empty. I have no cash, no debit card, no credit cards (including my work one!), no driver's licence, no health cards PRESTO card... NOTHING.

I whip home, get on the computer and start looking for GO phone numbers thinking all the while I have a poop-load of stuff to cancel and then my home phone rings. It's a girl named Lisa, who is also my new BFF, and she has my wallet. She boarded when I got off and she was heading home to Hamilton.

She found my business card and was going leave a message for me at the office, but figured I'd be in a panic, so she used the info from my licence and Canada 411'ed me when she got home to get my home number.

I borrowed money from my son for gas and whipped into Hamilton to get my wallet.

Everything, including the money was still there. I gave her a bit of cash for saving my ass and for being such a decent human being AND even more important, I made it home in time for Dancing with the Stars!

It makes me feel good to know there are still honest people out there.
Lisa, this is for you (girl better have told you about this website):

This story is worthy of four cheerleaders.
Oh, and one more, a sexy pirate cheerleader just for Fred:

I don't know how old lswgirl13's son is, but in my head I see her desperately shaking a piggy bank and then paying for gas with coins.

As an aside, it's for times such as these that I always keep emergency gas cash in the car (back in the day $5 was enough but now it's a $20).

Yay for Lisa!

@Shirker - HAHA - he's 17, but yes, I did check his piggy bank but not much luck so I hit him up at his part time job. He's never going to let me forget this either!
And might I add, Lisa was not only nice and honest, she was also pretty and a nice figure. I guess she's perfect!
