You never know when you’ll find what you’re looking for.
Mark Lemons plays golf at Northwood Country Club to relieve stress, improve business relationships and work on his short game. However on a spring evening his golf clubs valued at $1,500 were taken from his 2005 Chevy Suburban. The thieves ripped out the back doors to get his clubs and he wrote them off for good, but Lady Luck was a ringer for Lemons and he got them back in a most unusual way.
An anonymous man, who works for Southwest Art Gallery, visits pawn shops to buy military jewelry pawned by veterans. He buys the jewelry and returns them to veterans as a thank you for their service.
A couple of days after Lemons had reported the break in of his vehicle the anonymous man was in the parking lot of a pawn shop and was approached by someone selling Lemons’clubs. He bought them and returned them back to Northwood Country Club because Lemons’ name tag was still attached to the golf bag. That evening the golf shop at the club called Lemons and said his clubs were waiting to be picked up.
After recently cleaning out the same Suburban this August, it was again targeted by thieves. “I just cleaned out my car and nothing was stolen this time,” Lemons says. “They were cruising the neighborhood and thought they had something. This time they had nothing.”
