Happy, Fluffy News

Some douchebag stole a firefighter's hockey gear while he was trying to save a woman from a burning wreck. The community got together and replaced his gear and donated the extra funds to the woman's family. Sometimes we just need a little happy.

Thats great! I love when good things happen - and gets reported

Related sorta ... Two boys came to visit a friend in the hospital - in a coma....
They came right after hockey practice and their gear was in the back of the pick-up. When they returned to leave the hospital all their gear was gone.

They shared the issue on a popular internet site. Outrage spread very quickly. mysteriously their gear was found 4 days later in the driveway of one of the boys. All I can figure is whoever stole it got a conscience.

From HappyNews.com

A homeless man, Dave Talley found $3,300 in cash in a backpack left behind at a light rail station in Arizona. Despite being tempted to keep the money, Talley tracked down and returned the backpack to its owner.

Isn't that nice? Restores my faith in human nature. Personally, if I'd been the homeless person finding the $3,300, I'd have kept it. The nights are getting pretty cold around here - the days too!
