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.
So you go to all the trouble to call/locate/drive to the house to return a wallet,
and they can't even take the small effort to restrain their two dogs, which probably scratched the paint right off your car ???
This comes under the heading of "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished".
