My Honesty Rewarded Me – Honesty Story #26

Have you ever found a purse in a parking lot?  One of our readers sent her inspiring and encouraging story. 

I am a college student and the phrase starving college student definitely applied to me when this incident happened.

I was a freshman at college trying to make ends meet not sure about finances at all my boyfriend had forgotten to pack a lunch and had called me on his break to see if i could bring him food. So i grudgingly took him lunch and wasn’t happy that I had to waste gas just because he forgot. Anyway I sat and ate lunch with him in my car outside of Wal-Mart (where he worked). There was a cart that had been there for a while next to my car and it had something in it…a purse i learned later. Well it started to rain and i didn’t want the contents of the purse to get messed up so i ran the purse inside to the service counter in hopes that the lady it belonged to would look there and i went back to my car. Around the end of my boyfriends lunch a lady who looked really upset was looking in the area of the cart she looked really frantic. I asked her if she had left a purse in a cart she said yes and i told her to check at the service desk because i had just taken one in.

As i was going to leave she ran out with a gift card to Wal-Mart with a generous amount of money and thanked me very much for my honesty with tears in my eyes i took it. God had answered my prayers i had desperately needed that money. I used that card for the next two months getting food and other necessary items. Honesty does pay.

Someone Found My Camera – ImHONEST Story #2

Late last year, we decided to share select ImHONEST customer testimonials. This is a great story we can share with you thanks to the honesty of a student. This happened a few weeks ago when we had a late and very surprising snowfall in Georgia. 

I needed to take my Golden Retriever to the Vet Hospital in Athens, Georgia for a treatment.  Since there had been a record snowfall of 12 inches, I thought to bring my camera with me to take a few pictures.  My memory card was almost full and the snow pictures would be the last of 200 pictures before I downloaded the entire card.

At the Vet School, my dog was extremely anxious to go home and he really acted wild and excited as I got him back into the car. In the excitement, I must have dropped the camera into a small snow bank.  I never thought about taking the pictures and I even forgot that I had my camera with me.  The next day we had a call from an ImHONEST.com representative with the great news that the camera had been found and the finder used the information on the tag to contact ImHONEST and return the camera.

Through the simple ImHONEST return instructions, the finder was able to get the camera back to me.  My 200 pictures and memory card were saved and my camera is back home.  We are grateful to the finder and to the ImHONEST program.
