Thank God for Good People

I didn't tell that many people because it was a sore spot for a while, but I lost my Ipod a couple months ago. It's not really a big deal, but this was after I broke my camera and I was tight on money at the time, so losing my Ipod made me feel that much worse. I totally gave up on it because I figured someone found it and kept it, but today I got a really nice surprise.

I happened to check one of my email addresses that I never check because it gets a lot of spam, and I saw a message that said, "I found your Ipod." I thought it was spam at first, but I thought, that's a really weird way to send someone a virus or advertise something because how many people lose their Ipods? So I opened the email, and this guy named Even Marcelo said he found my Ipod on the street, that it had been run over by cars, but could still play music. He told me where he found it, which was near where I thought I lost it, so I know it's mine. He even sent a picture of it:

Notice how the LCD screen is cracked? My Ipod is a bad@$$. Anyway, he told me I could pick it up whenever (I dunno where he lives), but I feel kinda weird about that because I'm paranoid. Even though it's some really nice person who didn't keep my Ipod, which now has sentimental value. What's really kind of odd is that he took the effort to get my email address off of my Ipod (I didn't know you could do that, but I did buy it online), so maybe that's the source of my trepidation. I'll probably go with someone so I don't get killed.

Isn't it weird that we're suspicious when people do nice things for us? Still, it's good to know (or hope) that there are good people in this world.
