"Dinkie Car Derby" and a good deed

I went to to a local beach this morning.... it was foggy and dark and still dry. No one around. Perfect.

I start working it, found a bit of clad... then I ran into a toy car. A foot away, another, and another, sometimes two at a time. By the end of it, I was just shaking my head... feeling sorry for the poor kid who left these behind.

I started shoving them into my bag when I thought, "Maybe these will make a less fortunate kid happy".

I put em on a tree, for the lucky 'lil feller, whoever he may be.

Before the torrential rain hit me, I found a dog tag, and what looks like to be a copper toe ring (or just a piece of junk).

(Shaped like a fire hydrant... oooh Koda, who's a good boy!? )


I got home and contacted the owner via text and I'm going to drop it off to him/her tomorrow.



Now come on universe, send a gold coin this way.

I would have done the same. Toy cars ain't what I'm lookin for so they would have been left for the next kid to discover.

Oh man, I just looked at your post and saw that silver Dodge Charger car at the far left side of your photograph. That toy is extremely rare and is worth a small fortune, at least four figures!
Man, I would've done a lot more research on these toys before I left them down at the beach!






Just kidding . . . that was very decent of you.
