Here’s the scenario, in full, as far as I can remember it:
I found the ID on the street, about a block south of where I live, in the morning.
Around 10am, I called the insurance company and asked for her by name. When she answered, I didn’t identify myself, I just asked if she’d lost an ID. She sounded delighted that I’d called. She asked if I was in the building, and if I’d found it in the lobby, and could she come get it right now. I told her that I was, in fact, on the other side of town. I asked where she lived. She told me not only the town, but the street, and even her address (sans apartment number). I told her my address. (It’s maybe half a block south of her. Putting this together, she’s about a block north of where she lost her badge.)
I suggested returning it to her after work, and gave her my phone number. She said she’d call when she got home, at 5:30. I told her that I wouldn’t be home until maybe 6:30. She gave me her cell. She thanked me a few dozen times, then hung up.
I arrived home at 6:15. She had left a message at 6:00, saying she was home, and once again gave me her cell number.
I changed my clothes and called. Instead of asking who it was, she gave a hearty “Hi Todd!” (Gotta love caller ID.) I told her “Walk to my apartment, and I’ll walk to yours, and we’ll meet in the middle.” She agreed.
Minutes later, I was on the sidewalk, walking towards someone resembling her picture. At first she looked a little suspicious at the guy smiling at her, then caught on and took the ID from me. She showed me her temp ID still clipped to her belt. She asked me where I’d found the original, and I said “Over there, on the median where the flowers are.” Chit chat and thanks for maybe a minute or two. It was all warm and smiley. She thanked me for walking to meet her halfway. I commented that it was really not far, referencing my building, which was spitting distance away. She laughed. We said goodbye.
That’s pretty much it.
