I was up in Canoga Park once and I had to make a phone call to see if she was home. These were the days before cell phones were even invented. Lying on the flat space of the phone booth was this wallet. I looked inside and there was absolutely no cash inside. It was a mans wallet. But all his ID's and credit cards were inside, and I didn't want to see him have to go to DMV to replace his license and have to call up all his CC companies to report a lost or stolen card.
Just so happened that he lived near me in Beverly Hills, so I called 411 to see if he was listed. Yeah, in those days you could actually call up information for free. So I got the number and tried to call. His sister answered the phone and I told her about the found wallet, and that it had no money inside, just his license and CC's. I told her that since I lived by her that I could come by and drop it off. She said that would be OK.
So I find the address and start heading up this winding driveway. One I got to the flat spot of the driveway, I honked my horn to let them know I had arrived. All of a sudden two HUGE Great Danes came charging at my car. Now I was used to Great Danes since my sister had raised them when I was growing up so I really wasn't afraid of them. But I quickly had a change of heart when these two dogs started attacking my car! I never had seen a vicious Great Dane before. These two looked like they had been trained to be attack dogs. Luckily I had my windows rolled up so they couldn't get near me. A few minutes later, the sister came outt of the house to collect the wallet from me. I gave her the wallet and started backing out of the driveway. But these dogs were determined to have a piece of me before I left their yard. They chased me halfway down the drive until the sister gave some sort of verbal command which made them reluctantly go back home. I just hate to think of what would have happened to me had I gotten out of the car and tried to make it to the back door.
