Texas Road House Rescues my Camera Case

I don't know if I mentioned it previously--but when I had my birthday party at The Texas Roadhouse restaurant, I had my new Sony point and shoot camera with me.
When I bought the camera from Costco, it came with a real nice little high quality case and the closing flap had a zipper pouch on it for extra batteries, etc. (there were 2 extra batteries in the zipper pouch)  I had the case laying out on the table beside the food and drink that we were partaking of.  Somehow, it disappeared (I suspect that it slid off of the table onto the floor when one of the grand kids was having me move out of my seat so they could get out to go somewhere)  The thing that gets me is that we looked everywhere--on the bench seats, on the floor--and could not locate it.  So I told the waitress about it and she made a note of it with our phone number.  That was probably a waste of time.  Two or three days later I called and they checked their lost and found box with no results. So today (which is 13 days later) I was in the vicinity and I just thought--why not drop by and check again.  Upon doing so, the lady at the front desk checked a drawer that she had there with lost and found with no results.  Another gentleman came up and said that he would go check somewhere else.  After about 4 or 5 minutes he returned with the camera case.  It made me happy as h---!!!  I would still like to know where they found it.

Oh---I broke down and shaved today, I was almost starting to get a beard!  I also went down to a nearby barbershop and got a $9.00 haircut.  Of course, me being the big spender that I am--I gave a big tip.  ---have a fantastic day...virgil baker

(about the pic below)The guy setting down on the tailgate is evidently trying his luck at getting work by just "camping out" in a high traffic area.  The other two people were just passing by and talking to the owner of the vehicle.  More information is on the smaller sign (you can enlarge the picture and make it out).
