Kid Walking Through Forest Finds Abandoned Car, Notices Old Box with Envelope Inside

One day, Justin was wandering around the woods when he came found a broken-down car with an old locked box inside.

He decided to look into it to see what was within

Justin and the Jones family loved to go hiking. They would get in the car and go to the most desirable trails in the nation, whether they were in the mountains, the hills, or the forests.One weekend they drove more than a hundred miles away from their city to a forest.They built up a temporary camp and slept there every night.

While looking for edible mushrooms, the youngster wandered too far from his family. “Mom! Dad!” he yelled, but nobody responded. He carried on, trying to navigate his way home. He was surprised to see an abandoned car when he did.

He made the choice to remain in the car until midnight in case a wild animal surfaced. He had to wait for a bit before he eventually saw his father.“Justin! Where have you been?

“DAD! Here I am! DAD!” He yelled back once more. He hastened over to give his father a hearty hug as soon as he saw his feet moving up the walkway. I initially believed that I would have to spend the night by myself.Relief-filled, Justin stated.He drew back and said, “Look what I found!”

His father was amazed by the vintage car. They made the decision to take a quick look inside to see if there was anything valuable there. a carved message on an old box that reads, “If you find this box, please take it to the location below. – 5/7/1995. Vincent Davis.

“That address is just a couple of miles from here,” Justin told his dad. “Should we take it?” he asked

It was now his dad’s turn to carry the package. It was a large, heavy object. After gently opening it, he set it on the ground and revealed its amazing contents. There were numerous gold bars and military-themed images. A few pieces of jewelry and numerous service-related medals were also present.

“This costs a lot of money! I’m surprised no one has found it yet,” Justin’s dad remarked. “Let’s go take it to the campsite,” he said, leading Justin back to where his mom was.

When they arrived at the location, Justin was eager to show his mother the findings they had found.His mother questioned, “Well, what do you want to do with it?” Without much thought, the young man responded, “Of sure, we should take it to the address given. There must be a search going on for it.

Both of his parents grinned.”Well done. His mother added, “We’re proud of you for making the correct decision. After their camping trip was completed the following day, they traveled to the specified address. When Justin’s father rang the bell, a woman in her fifties opened the door. “How may I help you?” the elderly woman enquired.

Hello ma’am, what is your name?” Justin asked.

“My name is Linda Davis,” she replied. Justin’s father showed her the box after asking her to confirm her last name. She let out a cry of shock that someone had finally located it.

“Oh, dear…” she said, tears filling her eyes. “My husband found out that his grandfather had left him an inheritance about 25 years ago. His grandfather buried it in the forest so that my husband’s father wouldn’t steal it away from him,” she started to explain.

“My husband went to find it, but he never came back. We found his body near the highway, frozen. We tried searching for the car, but no one has ever found it in nearby forests. It’s a miracle you found it,” Linda said, wiping her tears.

“The authorities said it’s likely his car broke down and he went to find help. He never found help and died on the way. He likely got lost.”

Linda has no interest in the riches inside the box. She held the pictures of her husband close to her face since she missed him so much. “Jack, I miss you so much,” she thought to herself. She was allowed a brief minute by Justin’s family members to look inside the box.

Her reminiscences came to an end when she added, “We never had any children, and I don’t have anything to spend on. I don’t need the gold, please keep it. I would just like his medals, the photographs, and the jewelry because this is my husband’s family heirloom,” she said.

“Oh, no, we can’t possibly take the gold, ma’am. This is yours,” Justin’s dad said, refusing. “I insist. Please use it on something good,” Linda said, pushing the box towards Justin.

Linda would not take no for an answer from Justin or his parents, despite their repeated protests. They then departed, carrying a chest full of riches.

When they returned to the car, Justin said to his father, “Dad, Linda’s house looked very old, it almost looked abandoned. Can we fix it?”

Justin’s dad nodded and grinned.Certainly, we can. We dispose of the gold and fix her dwelling. Let’s contribute what’s left of the money to charity. It surprised everyone when Justin and his family visited Linda’s property again.

She was quite grateful that they were upfront about their intentions. Though she had never given it much thought, she had always hoped that one day she would be able to afford to fix up her house.

On that day, Linda, Justin, and his parents started a valuable friendship. Linda gladly prepared the delectable meals she had long forgotten how to make when her friends and family were over. In order to prevent Linda from having to spend the holidays alone, they periodically invited her over.

No matter how seductive a decision could be, we should always choose wisely. It was a test when Justin’s parents inquired about his plans for the box. He didn’t hesitate to admit that he wanted to return the box to its original owner.

We should, whenever possible, return the favor. Linda demanded that Justin and his family keep the gold when they gave her late husband’s box back. Justin’s family opted to use the gold instead of retaining it for themselves in order to renovate Linda’s house.
