I sure don't feel lucky
14 years ago
So I'm going down the highway just before dark and theres this busted up microwave oven laying in the middle of my lane. I just missed hitting it and being the nice guy I am I decided to turn around and pick it up before someone dose run it over and who knows right? So I swing around and pull over and much to my suprise it's full of tools! Not cheap shit either. A few pairs of Knipex pliers wich are about $45 a pair and some misc. Snap On stuff. So I'm thinking "Damn it must be my birthday?!" Well I pick everything up and swing by the dump to throw out the busted up microwave. I go home and make dinner and watch T.V. for a hour or so. And put my new tools in my tool cabinet. Then I decided what the hell I'm gonna go have a beer. So I go down the highway to my favorite bar witch happens to be right along the highway were I found the tools. So I find out that like a hour after I picked that stuff up a truck went back and forth a few times down the shoulder. Obviously looking for something. And a few minutes latter after I arived they cruised by again. I probably should have ran out and flagged them over and gave them there tools back. But I figured Hey! They could have killed someone, and if there dumb enough to loose the stuff in the fist place... fuk em' right? But still being a nice guy and all I feel bad. I really have to stop being so nice, it won't get you far I've found out.

BUT! I would of return them... I pretty much have all the tools I need. If they had something cool maybe I would keep that!

Well... That's a tough one. Most of the things I found I do not already have and would make my job easyer, but at the same time I've done without them all this time. So there's my dilemma. It's not as if I stole them either, If I knew who's they were I would gladly return them.

aint you never heard of the rule finders keepers, and yes the fact that they lost the damn thing in the first thing is completely criminal, if there was a car behind them when that thing flew outta their truck well that would have been a highway fatality, and all because they failed to secure the thing properly, something that all people who are transporting anything should be forced to be accountable for, I hope they learn a valuable lesson fomr this, and don't feel bad, you are just helping to teach them that lesson

I see your point. I mean hell I almost piled up dodging the microwave. And who puts tools in a microwave?

I have no idea, I thought tools belonged in a tool box, but anyway, you at least have some new tools to play with, who you know the old saying, can't have too many tools
