I don’t know if this was a real poster or if it’s just a joke, but it sure is funny!
I’m sure that there are a lot of people out there who might have a sense of relief when the family cat or dog runs away from home.
As much as I love pets I know that they can be a pain in the ass at times too!
I know that both my brother and brother in law wouldn’t mind if their dogs went missing. Me on the other hand … I’d be really upset if our Lab disappeared.
Do you ever dream of finding something that’s worth big bucks? Well, for one woman that dream came true.
An abstract masterpiece was found in the trash by a woman who really didn’t know much about modern art. The painting subsequently sold for a million dollars.
The painting was discovered back in 2003 by Elizabeth Gibson. She spotted the canvas on her morning walk as she strolled Manhattan’s upper west side. She felt the painting was powerful.
It turns out that the painting was “Tres Personajes” by Rufino Tamayo. It’s a brightly colored abstract and it was purchased by phone at Sotheby’s Latin American art sale.
The painting was actually stolen. Gibson searched for years for information about the painting. She finally came across an article about the painting on Antiques Roadshow’s website. The article stated the painting had been stolen in 1989.
Gibson received a reward of $15,000 for returning the valuable painting and she’ll also get a portion of the sales price.
It certainly pays to keep your eyes open when walking through city streets!
COMMENTS (4)What would you do if you found a bag filled with enough money to make your life easier?
Debbie Cole of Largo found a plastic bag on the road stuffed with $65,000! What did she do? She immediately returned it to the authorities.
The money had fallen off a Loomis armored car about a half hour before Debbie found it near the Pinellas County solid waste operations facility where she’s employed. She actually thought it was a turtle on the road when she first spotted the bag.
The bag was found at about 7 a.m and it was filled with enough $50 and $100 bills to have paid her salary for two years!
It’s still unclear how the bag happened to have fallen from the truck.
Her boss, Bob Hauser, is unable to give her a bonus or raise for her good deed, but he might arrange for some extra time off.
Cole grew up in Long Island and she says she was raised to be honest. When she was asked if she even thought of keeping the money she stated “Everyone keeps asking me that,” Cole said. “To be honest, no. It didn’t even cross my mind.”
Well good for her! I hope Loomis gives her a bonus for turning in the money.
So – what would you have done had it been you that found all that money? Be honest.
