LOST PORTABLE SUCCESS STORY!!!

[IceIceAldrich]

I had posted here about losing my portable fish house on Feb 14th of this year. I have a very good update. I missed a call today and received a voicemail, a good guy named Jason who was looking out for others left me a voicemail about my post on here on my lost portable and maybe having a lead. I thought to myself noway its been almost a month and I didn't ever think that I would ever see this portable again. I returned his call and he told me that there was an add in the local journal about a found fish house. I was very greatful in hearing his news, even knowing if it was mine or not. I looked up the journal online and found the add. I called the number and a "good samaritan" named Don answered the phone and I told him that I was calling about his add in the journal and he asked me about the fish house and I desribed my fish house and the contents that was lost with it, and he say's it's yours. (HOORAY!!!) I thanked him numerous times for finding and reporting it or should I say trying to report it. He had my DNR # and he called the DNR and they wouldn't help him with returning the item found (Thanks alot DNR), so they gave him a number for the state patrol which didn't help him find the rightful owner, so he took his own time and placed a found add in the local journal which I do not receive. That's where Jason found his add and contacted me from my post on here and long behold I found my portable and got it back in better condition than I left it. I would like to say THANK YOU to all for your encouragement on my last post and a very special THANK YOU to Don and Jason for doing what they did and being the honest people that they are. I didn't realize the power of the internet and this forum until now. Wow, what power we all have if we use it in the good manner that we are suppose to. Thanks for reading. Shawn

Shawn, it was my pleasure. A big thanks to Don! Without him none of this was possible.

We may have to have a beer over this one or do a little fishing.

Sorry I couldn't talk to you more we were at AppleBees in Delano and it was loud and my wife is 38 weeks pregnant and she has was having some pretty good contractions, luckily those have now slowed down. Whew!!

IceIce, PMs are disabled on FM, it slows the forum down. On a sidenote, congrats on getting your shack back. I love this site.

The better question yet is did you get a new fishhouse on clearnace before getting the old one back? Great to hear you found it.

[IceIceAldrich]

No We didn't, we were actually going to but we decided to wait until next year.
