In gesture of Goodwill, kid gets his bike back

Saint Louis Post-Dispatch

Here’s something you don’t see everyday … from the Associated Press …

 

Oregon boy parks bike inside Goodwill store, which then sells it for $6.99

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Cody Young parked his bike in the wrong place at the Goodwill store, where the rule is that anything on the floor goes.

He didn’t have a lock, but friends said they had parked inside the store before. On Sunday, though, the black BMX bike was sold.

But the 13-year-old is going to get his bike back, Goodwill officials said, after the buyer saw a newspaper story about the mix-up and called to make things right.

The buyer got the bike for just $6.99 but will get a $100 gift certificate from Goodwill for coming forth.

It’s not the first such mix-up in Goodwill’s busy stores, Goodwill spokesman Dale Emanuel said. A janitor once left a bucket and mop on a store’s sales floor, and they were sold the next day.
