    Honesty pays off for homeless Boston man

    Donations of more than $110,000 (£67,000) have poured in from across the US for a Boston homeless man who returned a lost bag with $42,000 in it.

    Glen James alerted police after he found the backpack containing cash and traveller's cheques last weekend, and the bag's owner was then tracked down.

    A complete stranger later started an online fund for Mr James after reading media reports about his honesty.

    The man, Ethan Whittington, now plans to meet Mr James to give him the money.

    Mr Whittington, who lives in Midlothian, Virginia, said he was so overwhelmed by Mr James' honesty that he decided to start the fund.

    "The fact that he's in the situation he is, being homeless, it blew my mind that he would do this,'' Mr Whittington was quoted as saying by the Associated Press.

    He said his idea of starting donations on a crowdfunding website for Mr James "caught on like wildfire ever since".

    "It's brought me a lot of hope. This isn't only about rewarding a great guy. I think it's a statement to everyone in America.

    "If we come together and work toward one thing and work together, then we can make it happen."

    Meanwhile, Mr James, a former Boston courthouse employee, said that he would not have kept "even a penny" of the money he had found in the backpack - even if he were desperate.

    Sounds good Dave :)

    Having got the cheap laugh out of the way, what is a vanilla URL?

    I agree with Cal about saving the merchandising until forum numbers are up but maybe have a core set of designs ready to roll as it were. Perhaps have members submit designs and then run a poll?

    I'm with Cal on the grammar aspect as well! :)

    PS3/PS4 Question

    in Hardware

    Posted

    I'm pretty sure the stats are shared with both. One of Swords, Activision's community manager, had a blog post about it yesterday that you could search for. It also talked about being able to get the PS4 version for $10 after buying the PS3 version. Heading to bed or I'd link it for you.

    Thanks man, I've read the article and it looks like it's good for me. :)
