I called up the guy on the check and he when he came to pick it up, he was on the verge of being hysterical because it had been lost for almost a day. He was so thankful that I had returned it to him. Right then and there he pulled out his wallet and gave me 5 hundred dollar bills. I totally didn't want to take it, but he pretty much forced me to.

So yeah, that was a great surprise. Went and bought some new running shoes and the rest went into my new computer fund.

That's just awesome.
