A Good Samaritan Finds and Returns Stolen Family Photos
A week after thieves ransacked a Los Angeles family’s storage unit, a kind stranger found their precious, stolen photos and returned them to the owners. David Shaban, a resident of Studio City, was walking down Ventura Boulevard when he noticed a couple of boxes under a tree. At first, he thought they were just full of trash, but something told him to take a closer look.
The Discovery
As Shaban approached the boxes, he realized they were filled with family photos. He knew that these memories were invaluable to the owner, and he felt compelled to return them.
“I thought, ‘Someone’s got to do it. These photos are core memories that mean nothing to anyone but the owner,'” Shaban said.
The Search for the Owner
Shaban brought the photos home and turned to his social media network, Twitch, to help him find the owner. He started dropping names into the chat, asking for help in finding the rightful owner. Eventually, he called Los Angeles resident Neil Klasky, who had recently been robbed.
The Reunion
Klasky was overjoyed to be reunited with his stolen photos. As he went through the album, he was flooded with memories of his family’s past. He pointed out one photo of his son’s fourth birthday party, which had taken place at his house after same-sex marriages became legal in California.
“I think you gotta look at your community as your neighbor and your friends. That’s what I did,” Shaban said.
Conclusion
Shaban’s act of kindness restored Klasky’s faith in humanity. The story serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there are still good people who will go out of their way to help others.
