Way to do the right thing Blue and thankfully there are people out there still willing to pay if forward. I agree with you, common courtesy has gone to shit these days.

That sucks.
I found an iPod nano two months ago right by a subway entrance. It was a holiday time and figured I should do something good, plus I somewhat believe in karma. I found his email by synching it to my iTune. He worked only a few blocks away from my office and came to pick it up. He handed $20 to thank me. I said not to worry about it but he insisted on giving it to me. So I took it graciously. Jeez, I am such a nice guy.

"What? No cup of coffee. A fucking danish?"
Used to live in that area. Westchester is filled with rich, self-absorbed savages.

If I were you, I would send her a note explaining what you have said here, stressing that you didn’t and do not expect a reward. Maybe just lay it out as like a parable of what can happen when we all have the attitude to do the right thing. Maybe suggest what may have happened if you’d decided to keep that check book, or what may have happened if a less honest person had found it – or what if it had been her Blackberry with all her personal info in it.
These cheese-shop-types need to woken the fuck up now and then that they are living in a society, and a little common fucking courtesy doesn’t hurt anyone.
- Tell her “you see what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass.MrOneHundred

I reckon there should be some type of uprising against the fucken rude, ill considered and ignorant asswipes in society. It's just good manners to treat people how you would want to be treated yourself. Gives me the shits how inconsiderate people can be.
Stupid example...I was in a department store yesterday coming down an escalator. Just about everyone keeps left to let those in a hurry to walk down the right. There were 3 deadbeats standing on the escalator blocking the path of anyone wanting to pass. I simply said "Excuse me"...as I wanted to pass. One of the fuckers just says "Take a fucking chill pill man and wait".
WTF? How does he know I'm not on my way to see my dying mother? No respect towards others.

TheBIueOne, I understand where you are coming from. The thank you was like you passed her the salt at dinner and you wanted an acknowledgement of the effort and honesty you demonstrated. No tangible good or reward, but even something as simple as an added "it is really appreciated for you to go out of your way like this."
But I bet she was embarrased and didn't know how to handle the situation. Not making excuses though... and I would have been taken aback by her response too.

I take it you've had a bad experience with purveyors of solid dairy products in the past?

I totally agree man - on Sunday I absent-mindedly left my BMX at the DVD rental store. The owner of the store took it home, and waited for me to turn up a couple of days later asking if he saw who took it. I was sooo damn happy that I bought the guy a big bottle of vodka. It was the least I could do for him holding onto my treasured bike...
Rewards when deserved can really go a long way...
