Thank You Bruce

Thank You Bruce:

On any given day, my son wouldn’t have more than $5 in his wallet. But on this particular day, he had just withdrawn most of the money from his bank account and added it to the money his friends had given him. This day, they were planning to buy the supplies they needed to start their own business and they had all been saving what they could.

So, of course, it would be this particular day that my son lost his wallet. We frantically looked between the two places he could have lost it – but he was quite sure he must have lost it somewhere at Stop and Shop. When we realized that no one was going to return it to the service desk, we gave up and went home. He was so distraught that he had not only lost his own hard earned money, but his friends’ money also.

Within 20 minutes of being home, a car pulled into our driveway with the Hollywood Scoop name on the vehicle. It was Bruce, and he had found my son’s wallet and wanted to return it personally. He had recognized my son’s age, college ID, address, and correctly determined that this young person was probably in great need of the money in the wallet. It brought tears to my eyes to realize that good people still exist in these tough times. Bruce wouldn’t even take a reward or tip for his actions. Thank you again Bruce … you’re truly a decent person … your family should be proud!!
