Got a Good Samaritan story to share?
Who says Good Samaritans don’t exist?
Certainly not Miki Cooper, a resident of Naples, Fla., who recently left a bag full of valuables on the floor of a metro cab.
The bag, which contained diamond jewelry, an iPod and a digital camera, was discovered by driver Walter Fernandez who quickly tried to find its owner. He remembered the passenger and contacted the hotel. At the same time, Cooper was trying desperately to locate the cabbie known as Walter and finally got his home address. The bag was reunited with its owner and Fernandez was rewarded with $200.
Do you have a Good Samaritan story to share? Have you ever come to someone’s rescue or been on the receiving end?

I pulled up to the ATM one afternoon to get cash and noticed someone left their card inside the machine and the message on the screen was asking for my next transaction. Someone left their ATM card in the machine and drove off, I immediately pressed the button for no further transactions and retrieved the person’s ATM card, got out of my car and dropped it into the night depository. I have gotten so many comments from people that I mention the story to that they would have done something totally different. I did exactly what I would have expected someone else to do if that had been my ATM card left in the machine. I have no regrets about what I did.

I pulled up to the ATM machine and discovered that the person in the car ahead of me had left his card in the machine. I tried to stop him but he continued to drive off. The machine asked do you want to make another transaction? I pressed no and fortunately the bank was still opened for business so I took the card to the teller at the drive through window. I would hope that someone would do the same thing for me.

I went to Laughlin this past weekend and as my boyfriend and I were conversating while pumping gas, I put my wallet on top of my car and drove off without it. I swear I didn’t think I was gonna see it. But I got a letter in the mail today from the person who found it and I will be getting my wallet back in a couple days!!!!!! Thank you Larry.
