Gents,
I am a BIG believer in karma. A week ago I discovered an unattended day pack. While part of me would normally consider it an unattended PBIED I monitored it and engaged with a couple of people before realizing it was unattended. I found a wallet in the front pocket and without hesitation drove across town to the address on the licence and a letter in the body of the bag.
I was in uniform so it seemed legit when I knocked on the door. The Indian gentleman smiled when he saw the bag and I insisted that the wallet had not been touched and I invited him to verify all the contents were there. Explained how I came to find it and he refused to open the bag in my presence because it was disrespectful to me, having driven it to his home. I actually cried. I had found out that my sister in law is losing the bulk of a 'boob' to cancer next week. It all hit me I suppose. ANYHOO...
I left with him and his wife happy, and me feeling chuffed that I had got out of the office for longer than planned. I figured I had tipped the karma scale Breona's way for this week. And then the Yahoo Gods just smiled on me...
Buzz Rickson 63rd Bomb Squadron B-10 Jacket in a 42. Insane price and looks in good shape. Anything with art gets my blood pumping...
After getting the 'Ken's Men' B-10 link earlier this week this was just too much of a coincidence.
43rd Bomb Group were based out of Queensland in WWII, like my beloved Jolly Rogers and the Mareeba Butchers.
Enjoy!
Regards,
Couchy
