About two years ago, I was out biking, and I found a set of keys. They were outside someone's house, but when I knocked, no one answered. I took the keys to the police.
About one year ago, I was out biking, and I found a cell phone. I picked it up and called the number listed as "Mom & Dad." I live in Ithaca, "Mom & Dad" live in Boston. I sent their son's phone to them. They offered to send some money, at least the cost of the postage, but I refused, asking to just let me have this good feeling of being helpful.
About a month ago, I found a wallet while I was out biking. As I continued, I found credit cards, $43 dollars, student ID, etc. I collected these strewn contents, and used her student ID to find her email address. She was in Philadelphia, but came to collect her wallet the following Wednesday.
Yesterday, I got a thank you note from the wallet person with $10 in it. I was a little put off by it at first, but got over it. I am planning on finding more wallets (they seem most profitable) with the hope of collecting a total of $30. If this plan works, I will send $30 to David Horvitz. Then David Horvitz will buy $30 worth of cookies and give them out to people he sees in the street.

If you are interested in contributing to my David Horvitz fund, please come to Ithaca and lose something. Then I will find it, send it to you, and you can send me money for David. If you lose your item between my house & Cornell, I will have the best chance of finding it. You might also want to let me know you're coming, and I can show you where I live during your stay.
