Maybe he got confused and thought that he was still in Baltimore.
To “Baltimores” credit: I just flew into there late Saturday night. I was tired and waiting on curb for the rental car shuttle. I got distracted playing on my iPhone out of boredom; once the shuttle arrived (which was nearly 30 min) I hopped on it with my pack and carry on… another 30 min later, I finally got to my rental and realized “muther ******;” I left my checked bag on the curb.
In that checked bag was my life to sustain me the next 7 weeks over 3 continents: PS5 (this is how I stay in touch with my boys), clothing, knives, cords, other electronic stuff, etc; poo I can’t find in Africa).
I then remembered all the people sitting outside the arrival doors who obviously weren’t in transit: beggars, rappers for donation, homeless, and others who just seem to lurk for opportunity. I figured my bag was long gone.
It took me another 30 min to get through the rental car checkpoint and reach the terminal I left my bag at.
After reestablishing my bearings at the arrival terminal, I saw the bag with one of the “rappers/dancers” and immediately thought I was going to have to get the cops involved and authenticate the contents therein as mine. As soon as he saw me walking up he said, “you left your bag man. I grabbed it to make sure no one took it; I knew you’d come back looking.”
Every metropolis has its issues, but let’s not taint Baltimore based on sizzles recent actions. He played foozball in Baltimore, but grew up in chandler AZ FFS….
PS- I didn’t have cash on me, but offered to go grab some or take this dude to dinner. He declined and just asked me to pay forward. I believe I was able to collect on my previous “deposits,” and I was affirmed I need to continue dropping into that pay forward account.
