My Random Act of Kindness

I was extremely thankful for the Parking Gods helped me find a spot on a very busy street. As soon as I got out of my car, I noticed that the car parked next to me had a key dangling on it’s key hole. I didn’t hesitate to take the key as I put myself in that persons shoes. But then I had to think about how I should rectify the situation. Option A - wait for the owner to return. Of course, a second later, it crossed my mind that I could be waiting there forever. Option B - leave a note on the dashboard stating that the key is underneath the car. But anyone can read the note, pick up the key and leave with the car. Finally, Option C - I’ve decided to leave a note that says “Hi, You left your key. Call me at 415-***-****. -Ellaine”. An hour later, I got a text and a phone call. I was still skeptic about the person so I asked if he can identify how the key chain looked like. Alas, we have a winner. I told him where I was at and he came right over. I handed over his key. A thousand thank-you’s later, he insisted that I take his $20. Successfully carrying out a random act of kindness is indeed the best feeling in the World.
