Melinda McCarleys Story
“During the Hurricane season of 2004, Florida, where I live, had 4 hurricanes hit one right after the other. After the first, Hurricane Charlie, we decided to drive to our cabin in Franklin, NC to ride out the next one; Hurricane Frances. What normally takes me 9 1/2 hours to drive took me 16 hours because of the volume of cars trying to evacuate Florida. After having driven all night we stopped in a McDonalds’for breakfast. While we were there I took my granddaugthter to the restroom where I layed my wallet down and walked off and left it. Sometime later, after we had been at our cabin a few hours I realized that my wallet was missing. I knew right away that I had left it in the restroom but I couldn’t remember what exit. I called OnStar and asked them to please find me the telephone numbers of all the McDonalds’ right off the exits just north of Atlanta to Clayton, Ga. When the rep. came back to me he said, “I found it”. I said, “great, can you give me the number and I will call them”. He said, “No, I mean I found your wallet”! I just screamed. He had called several McDonalds himself and located the one where I left my wallet. He then patched me through to the manager of the restaurant where, after describing the wallet to her, she put it in her safe until I could drive the 2 hours back to her restaurant. I didn’t expect the sizable sum of money would still be in my wallet but I just prayed that my ID and credit cards were there. When I got my wallet, not only were my ID and credit cards there but so was every penny I had. Needless to say, that McDonalds is now my favorite and I always stop there on my way to and from Florida. I also will never be without OnStar.”
