The thief was hit by a bus a second after the robbery
In May 2011, in the Colombian capital Bogota, an attacker tried to take a woman's mobile phone. After a short struggle, he tried to sneak away, however, after taking only a couple of steps, he was suddenly hit by a bus. Everything that happened was captured by a video surveillance camera, and the video was published in various media.
The military paid for environmental pollution
Ron Poirier, a radio technician at the Camp Lejeune naval base in North Carolina in the 1970s, admitted that in those years the fleet dumped hundreds of gallons of toxic solvents into the sea. The chemicals, in turn, ended up in the drinking water. The cancer from which Ron died in May 2013 was among the diseases caused by the toxins in the water, which affected local residents and marines. Before his death, Ron told The Associated Press that he considers his illness to be some kind of retribution prepared for him by fate.
"When the day of judgment comes," Ron said, "I hope that all the victims will understand that I did not know what I was doing."
A person who has done a good deed unexpectedly finds $ 40

“There was a period in my life when I suffered from insomnia and spent the night tossing and turning in bed. One day at 6:30 in the morning I went to a supermarket and on the way out I saw a homeless man. Then I bought hamburgers, warmed them up and gave them to this disadvantaged man. Then I headed to another store.
Having parked my car and opened the car door, I involuntarily looked down. And what do you think I saw there? There was a brand new $ 20 on the sidewalk. I thought it was funny, but what really struck me was that when I left the store, I found another $ 20, and in the same place. I checked my wallet, but the previous 20 bucks were in place."
Miser pays twice
“Once I bought two newspapers and paid only for one. When I tried to move away, I noticed that the hem of my shirt was stuck in the shut window of the newspaper machine. I had to insert an additional 25 cents into the machine to free myself from captivity."
Good returns a hundredfold
“That day my son and I went to the store to buy him another game for the console. There was a woman in front of us at the checkout, who was clearly very upset because her card was not accepted, and she had nothing to buy infant formula for her baby. My son was so fascinated by her adorable child that he returned the game and offered the woman to pay for the purchase. “Your baby needs more food than I do in Plants vs. Zombies,” my son urged the woman. My heart was filled with pride for him, so I decided to buy him a game anyway.
When we left the store, a stranger caught up with us and handed my son an envelope, asking him to open it only at home. Imagine our surprise when, opening the envelope, we saw $ 100, which was accompanied by a note "You deserve it, young man."
Give and you will be rewarded
“There was a period in my life when I was an ordinary furniture seller, and my salary was only enough to pay the bills. Sometimes I even had to starve, since there was nothing to buy food.
One way or another, but once I could not sell anything. It was the end of the day and my earnings were zero. One elderly couple walked around the store looking for a TV stand. Other sellers did not want to contact them, because they understood that the elderly would first torture them with long questions, and in the end, at best, they would buy something for $ 100, while the seller's revenue would be only $ 2.
Then I thought - maybe if I can sell at least something today, then perhaps luck will turn to face me. So I sold 2 TV stands to the spouses. They wanted to use the services of a furniture assembler, and, despite the fact that our store provided such an opportunity (for an additional fee, of course), I took, and volunteered to assemble a stand for them myself for free, on the condition that they would pick me up at the end of the working day … On that and decided.
When I found myself in their wonderful apartment, I immediately felt a delicious aroma coming from the kitchen and tried to ignore it (it was not easy, since I had hardly eaten anything for 3 days already). After 3 hours I finished my work.
However, the old woman didn't let me go so easily - she took me to the kitchen, sat me down at the table and fed me freshly cooked roast beef. It was better than all the money in the world! After all, I have not eaten homemade food specially prepared for me for so long that even tears welling up in my eyes. I was grateful and grateful to the old woman, and she in turn handed me an envelope. From the joy that overwhelmed me that today I would finally fall asleep with a full stomach, I completely forgot about him. Opening the envelope at home, I found $ 100 there and cried …
After this incident, having worked as a seller for some time, I always tried to help people without looking for profit in big purchases. And you know, it helped me, and then I got a better paying job."
