Grateful to a Good Samaritan at station

A giant thank you to the anonymous Good Samaritan who found my cell phone and returned it to the ticket taker's tray in the station!

This past Sunday, I was waiting outside at the Mt. Prospect Metra Station, texting a friend, when my 11:37 train arrived. I thought I'd placed my cell phone in my pocket. I hadn't. Fifteen minutes later, bound for Chicago, the cell phone was gone.

When I returned to the station at the end of the day, I checked everywhere - the grounds, the area where I'd been sitting, even the garbage containers. Finally, I looked inside the station, and there it was, in the ticket taker's tray.

Whoever you are, thank you! Not only do I have my phone again, but I also have a renewed faith in people's goodness.
