My daughter with her two friends drove to SFO for a hike. On returning to the parking lot after the hike they noticed to their dismay, that their car windows were broken. Shattered glass was strewn everywhere and their purses and iPad were stolen from the car.
The police weren’t very helpful even when given the de
vice locations via Find My app.
That evening my daughter got a text from a lady on Facebook.
She said she had found a purse and a backpack on the street with ID card and credit cards in it.
We were mulling over the intentions of this caller. She had called from Oakland. My daughter decided to call her the next day and learn more about her instead of doubting.
It tuned out that lady was an elementary school teacher and agreed to meet my daughter near a police station in Oakland. The office was closed but the kind teacher gave my daughter all the belongings she had found. This teacher was indeed practicing what she preaches!
What an example she set to go out of her way for an unknown stranger, to make the effort to connect and follow through.

Wonder why, if the police knew where the thief was, that they didn’t pursue them! Grateful kindness came into the unpleasant situation via the kind teacher. ðŸ™

She told my daughter and her friends how she and her sister were held at gun point and robbed in the past. It tells how she has turned her experience into such kindness whenever she gets an opportunity.
