did my good deed for the year

comment_448391

Last week I bought a diesel vw bug off craigslist here in hawaii. Totally thrashed pos but i wanted a TDI diesel

for the gas mileage. 212k miles and greasy as hell inside with dog fur stuck to the grease. The grease was

from a kitchen where the guy worked. He was asking 1300 and i offered him 900 and he jumped at it.

Well fast forward next day cleaning the car out I find an envelope between the seats. Rip it open and 1100 bucks

cash falls out along with restaurant cash register receipts. I ask my wife... well what do you want to do?

She smiles and says give it back to him. May be something to do with being buddist, dont know.

So i call him and ask him if he lost any money recently. He says no.I describe the envelope's contents

and he says oh yea it must be from my restaurant cash register drop.

This thing is dated 2 months ago! you think he would have noticed one nights proceeds missing.

Well i'm still cleaning out the damn dog fur and grease and ordering parts and am starting to regret

my good deed. The radiator is bent and the a/c condenser is toast along with the plastic radiator support.

Oh yes and he did give her a reward of 100$ which i thought was nice. she sent me a picture of it on

the phone. That paid for the towing as it didn't run when I bought it.

but... maybe karma is coming back my way. I put in a new fuel filter and it fired right up.

I was thinking it needed a new injection pump.
