The reason, Volk realized, was because there was a leather wallet sitting underneath where the airbox was supposed to go, right on top of the transmission.
In a social media post on July 1, Volk shared a picture of his find and detailed the story to friends. He said “I thought hmmm that’s weird opened it up there was money and license with a bunch of cards so started looking and here the guy works for ford in Michigan where they build cars,” he wrote.
Volk contacted the man on Facebook to ask if he had lost his wallet years before and the man said yes, noting he had searched for it.
Volk said he shipped the wallet to the man’s address in Petersburg, Michigan, and left everything as it was inside it.
The wallet’s owner, Richard Guilford, used to build Fords in Michigan, and lost the wallet inside the car when it fell out of his shirt pocket as he was working.
The Edge was later shipped to a dealership in Arizona before making its way to Minnesota and eventually into Volk’s shop.
When speaking about his actions to return the wallet, Volk said, “Just the way I was raised.” The men have since connected online and Guilford thanked Volk for his kindness in making sure the wallet, which contained $250 in gift cards, his Ford ID, and some cash, got back to him.
Normal people doing normal, honest things - as it should be.
Sometimes, a story like this restores my faith in humanity.
ReplyDeleteA vehicle mechanic working on late model vehicles makes pretty decent coin so I would expect that behavior.
ReplyDeleteNow if that wallet fell out of Guilford's shirt pocket on the sidewalk of NYFC all bets are off.
Good folks do nice things to others. Way most people are. Behind the fake narratives we have been bombarded with for decades, that is. The false media is poison, it is intentionally poison, being part of a far larger entity which operates along the fringes of the shadows which itself maintains for its strategic and tactical high ground. And it can not tolerate even the most gentle organic acts of kindness and thoughtfulness towards others, so it is why this entity strives to cause us good folks to distrust and go after each-other, its pretty simple tac-strat if your gonna rule over people.
ReplyDeleteNot unlike what Trump is practicing. Get everybody pissed at somebody else, sow a little hate and distrust but come to me, I am the chosen one and I will save you. Bullshit I say. By the way all of those jobs "they" have taken from us are now opening up thanks to all of the ICE raids, any takers out there? Wanna pick some lettuce anyone?

DeleteWe will miss the "High Trust Society" when it's gone.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to remember exactly when we started locking the front door during the day.
Father related a story to me. He was working at an Oldsmobile dealership some 50 years ago. A new car came in and the customer complained of a rattling sound from the trunk area. the noise was finally isolated to an area that they could not be easily accessed and the rear quarter panel was removed. They found an empty coke bottle with a note. The note said "I see you found the noise."
ReplyDeleteI heard that same story except it was a Caddy and the note said "Finally found the noise you rich prick".
DeleteApocryphal. Probably versions for Mercedes and Rolls Royce and Ford Lincoln.
A Ford dealer told Dad that story back in the early Sixties. Supposedly the note said "I'll bet you had a hell of a time finding this".
DeleteHad an uncle that worked for Cadillac in the 50, 60-70s in the interior department.
DeleteSame stories about coke bottles, marbles in condoms etc.
I have no doubt they are true because he was that kind of hillbilly
asshole.

I’m still trying to digest 2015 as nearly 11 years ago.
