You lose it and we find it for you
You lose it – we find it.
The Icon “lost and found” classified ad posted on the evening of Feb. 3 read: FOUND: A little boy lost one of his favorite toys at a Bluffton home basketball game. I did not get a name of his mom. But I did finally find it. She can contact me at: [email protected] - Thanks, Daryl Shields.
Sounds like an almost hopeless loss.
Then, 12 hours later, on Feb. 4 this email arrives at the Icon:
Thanks for posting Daryl Shields' FOUND TOY classified ad! I am sure that was meant for us as we lost one a few weeks back. Even though I told him it was no big deal, he still thought enough of us to reach out. Thanks Bluffton Icon! This is just another reason we love the Bluffton community!
