If you are going to let something lay at the range....

I left my tripod that i use for my chronograph at a range 3 hours away near my dad's house. I didn't realize I left it until I got home some 7-8 hours later. I called dad and he drove back over to the range. It was right where I left it. A very popular private range on a weekend. I'm sure plenty of people walked by it.

Not a range story but one that is true and hard to believe.
Before I met my wife she was down and out and had little money. She's behind an old lady who didn't have enough money to pay for her prescription and my wife gave her the $24.00 she had in her purse to cover the bill. Old lady protested but Linda convinced her to take the money.
Now my wife is broke and payday is a long way off but feels good about her deed and goes out to her car. Lo and behold she finds a twenty wrapped with four ones in the parking lot. Now how weird is that?

I left a Browning .223 rifle and an expensive scope at the range. I was gone an hour and a half before I got back. An old fella was there, he'd been there when I left. When I got out of the car he gave me a big smile and said I knowed you'd be back fer it so I waited around til you got back.

I lost my wallet with all my ID and the only picture of my brother and his race car in it. Never did get any of it back. Not everyone is honest.

But one night when I worked in a grocery store many decades ago, I had cart duty and found a change purse in it, this was a long time ago. Turned it in and no one ever came back for it. I know it had to belong to a older person and felt bad when they gave it to me after 30 days because no one came for it. That was a lot of money back then and I'm sure the old person needed it more then me, but what can you do if they don't come back for it. At least I tried.

I went to a bar last night and not a single woman tried to pick me up.

When you got home, did you take a real long look in the mirror .

Not quite a range story but a couple of months ago I was at the grocery store and putting my cart in the receptacle in the parking lot. The cart in front of mine caught my eye. Some woman had left her purse in the cart. I just picked the whole thing up and took it to the courtesy counter in the store. Have no idea what happened next. Hopefully the lady was happy when the store called her and told her to come and pick up her misplaced purse. It's called Karma.....

Several years ago, I had the same thing happen to me, but the woman left her kid in the cart, I had to chase her down the parking lot, she said she was in a hurry to get home and make dinner.

On the bright side, she wouldn't have to cook as much!

I was shooting on a hilltop mining site and when driving off the hill I realized I had left a model 63 S&W kit gun lying where I was shooting. Needlessly to say I broke the record for a run back to the sight and it was still there. I could imagine a story someone telling about finding a nice 22 lying on the ground on a strip mine site. I was glad to see it lying there when I arrived.

I found an 870 once at the police range we used on Sunday mornings. Called the department and they picked it up.
