I bought a second hand toy robot once off some dodgy geezer, when I was cleaning it up I discovered a recorded message on it that seemed quite important. Anyway, long story short, it turned out it was a plea for help from my separated-at-birth sister that I didn't know I had, and I topped up saving her home planet from an oppressive regime. In terms of thanks, I almost got wheels deep in her until a mercenary we had hired stepped in and three-wayed her with a really hairy 7 foot bloke he used to hang around with (but that's a story for another day).

One I'd actually forgotten doing was I found a wallet in London once which belonged to a jock now back in Edinburgh.
I had a mate who lived there at university so I drove it up there to give back to him. Nice 20 hour round trip that cost me £100 in petrol, but I did pop along to watch Hearts play Stenhousmuir in the cup in what was a bloody excellent high scoring game. Can't remember the exact score or year, but worse places to take a passport back to.

Reminds me of a time I was on a bus and a three women got on (Arab in the open face head scarf just to demonstrate my willingness to help anyone). One of them had no money on her Oystercard and no cash to be able to pay the fare so the driver was telling her to get off. I reached over and paid her fare for her. Walked straight past me, no thank you and didn't even look at me. You do wonder sometimes how people can react like that.

Windy day, motorway flyover, I notice an old fellow waving his arms and bending down trying to catch onto a cloud of flying papers.
Turned out he'd dropped around 500 quid worth of notes. Managed to catch around 400 worth for him while the rest ended up in the traffic below. He said thank you, which was a good job as I was rock-bottom skint at the time. I clearly recall reflecting on the irony.

I was given a handbag at work.
It contained about 8 grand in cash in three different currencies and three passports.
I traced the owner and barely got a thankyou.

I found a wallet on the top of the ticket machine at the brewery car park in Romford, A few years ago now, was a couple of weeks before xmas. I took it home as someone else would've swiped it before long. Had some money in, maybe 40 quid, a blockbusters card (that's how long ago it was) and some credit and debit cards, but no address. So i picked up the phone book and rung the names that matched the credit card asking if they'd lost a wallet. Found the bloke after only 3 or 4 calls, he identified everything in the wallet down to the cards, what they were and who with etc...satisfied he was the owner, i gave him my address and popped round to collect it. Turns out he lived round the corner in hornchurch, and i got a bottle of wine as a thank you. Im good like that, and id hope someone would do the same to me one day.

I once found a wallet on a bus. Had £400 in it in cash but no ID other than a credit card and a dental appointment card. Rang the dentist up, got the bloke's number and called him to arrange to give it back. Monumentally grateful, and stunned that I hadn't taken the cash out. Would not accept my refusal to take £40 as a thank you.
On the other side, my parents were in Italy and late for a flight. They turned up at the wrong airport (would you believe) and stopped at a service station to ask directions in pidgin Italian. A customer who spoke English and was in the queue told them to follow his car and he would lead them there. Took 45 minutes to drive to the airport with this guy leading the whole way. My parents offered him some money but he refused and then turned round back the way he had come. My parents JUST made the plane.
Now that is some serious human kindness.

I found a purse on Clapham Common a few years ago with about a tenner on it and some cards.
I traced the owner and posted it and she sent me a £50 pizza express voucher.

Walking through Greenwich Park a couple of years ago my phone rang.
As I pulled the phone out of my pocket a few £20 notes had got caught up with it and fell on the floor behind me, I hadn't noticed.
A young lad and his girlfriend came running up to me and handed me the £60 I'd dropped.
I offered them £10 for their honesty, they wouldn't take it.

This happened to a mate of mine...
In Holborn opposite the station there's a Sainsbury's that has a couple of cash machines. Mate of mine was queuing up and the woman in front was taking her money out. All of a sudden some junkie's run over and grabbed the cash out the slot. As he's tried to leg it away, he's slipped and fallen flat on his face.
My mate's jumped on him, pinned him down and was expecting someone to call the police. The woman who's cash it was has just walked over and taken it from the blokes hand then fucked off. Not even a thank you.
He's obviously thought bollocks to this then and let the bloke go....

A few years back, my seat kept vibrating on a journey home from Liv St. Once I realised that bollock massaging seats are not standard on Greater Anglia (I believe it was called 'ONE' at the time) I realised there was a phone wedged between the seat.
A number had repeatedly been calling the phone so I called it from mine - turned out they were going to the Billericay fireworks event later that night, I met them and handed it back. They were very grateful and gave me a very nice bottle of red in return.
Nice guy like that I am. I allow the world to suckle on my teet of human kindness.
