Our hat goes off to these two good Samaritans for their help in returning a senior’s missing property. Two employees at Truth or Consequences thrift-store in New Mexico found more than clothes and knickknacks in the donation box, instead finding an envelope stuffed with $290,000 in U.S. savings bonds.
The Albuquerque Journal reports that an employee of the Community Health Foundation Thrift store found the envelope while sifting through donated items, and they notified their manager. The manager called the police and immediately turned the bonds over to an officer, who happened to know the man in whose name the bonds were subscribed.
Police say they contacted the man, who recalled the exact amount of the bonds and said he was unaware his personal property had been donated. He had recently been moved into an assisted living center and an advocacy group acting as his guardian had cleaned out his apartment.

Paul Ryan sounds just like the old staid useless Republican leaders we have right now with John (crybaby, alcoholic) Boehner and Mitch(“what do I do now>”)McConnell. At this rate we probably would be better off with a Democrat at least they know how to fight. Isn’t it time we pass a budget cutting all excessive spending, aid to illegals immigrants, refugee’s? Let Obama veto those bills and scream that he is shutting down the Government by not doing what he had promised when he took office. And that was to work with the Republican party. Instead it is a one way street with a Tyrant dictating and no opposition from the Republicans
The President would have been happy to talk to the Republican party, but all they wanted to talk about is rehashing the same out of touch platform Romney ran on. By the way, after all the bitching from the Republicans about the President not doing anything about closing the border to the immigrants, now that they control congress, where is their plan for closing the border?
Poor old guy. They donated his personal property without his knowledge. SOME “advocacy.”
