Late last fall, as my husband was driving into Wichita Falls, he spotted a big object on the side of the road. Being curious he stopped to see what it was. What he found was a safe, unopened and battered.
He was only a mile or so from his brother's shop so he decided to take the safe there and open it. With his son looking on they opened the safe. What they saw as they looked into the safe was money, deposit slips, etc. From the local Applebees restaurant.
When my husband saw what was in the safe, he immediately took the it to the police department.
He went through the usual questioning as a "criminal" even though he was being a good samaritan.
According to the police department all of the contents were accounted for and returned to Applebees.
My husband never received a Thank You or a word of appreciation from Applebees.
A few months ago, I wrote a letter to the Corporate Office stating the fact that my husband would have liked an acknowledgement and a thank you, so that he could prove a point to his 16-year old son that they did the right thing.
We have yet to hear from Applebees.
My husband thinks he is eligible for some kind of reward for the recovery of stolen property, however, a Thank you would be good enough.
We have never eaten at Applebees and never will. I say boycott Applebees because they are inconsiderate and lack the common decency to say thank you for saving them thousands of dollars.
