(5,530 posts)27. There's a Joe Cocker song on this very topic.
Hymn for my soul album, 'Just pass it on'.
I found a couple of ID cards on a seat in public transport.
Rather than give it to the driver, as they would just be put into lost and found, I made an effort to track down the owner.
Easy enough, employer's details on one of the cards.

Mailed the cards with a little note including my email address asking for acknowledgement of receipt to the business address.
Yep, she got the cards back. Happy as anything.

There are good people out there. I like to think I'm one of them.
