An Autistic boy gets Hot Wheels after a house fire

In Sylmar, California, John Reyes, an Autistic boy, had his house on fire due to the California Wildfires (What I like to call the Orange killers). He had collected over 500 hot wheels. When they searched the rubble of his house for any toys of his, he only found a rusty tricycle and a hunk of metal that used to be a hot wheels car. Mattel found out about this and sent 2 cardboard boxes to his Grandmothers house. It contained hundreds of cars, racetracks, stickers, t-shirts and hats, and more. He was so ecstatic. His mother said, it was like gold to him

A former thief sends an apology note and the money worth what he stole to the Shop Owner

Iran Ahmed, a shop owner in Bristol, England, was robbed 7 years ago. But recently he recieved an apology note and 100 pounds in cash. The Thief stole 400 cigarettes and payed for them, and apparently they cost 100 pounds. The thief sincerely apologized and noted that he had been a drug addict at the time but he noted that he was clean now. So he really didn't steal it now. I think. Anyway, Ahmed donated the 100 pounds to a charity that helped drug addicts stop using drugs or smoking cigarettes

The Note (from BBC)
"Dear Sirs, I am writing this letter to make amends to you for something I have done in the past."

"About seven years ago I was walking past your shop late one night when I noticed that someone had broken into it.

"I used this opportunity to enter your shop where I stole 400 cigarettes. The money enclosed (£100) is to pay for those cigarettes which I stole from you.

"At that time I was heavily using drugs and my life was in a mess, now I no longer use drugs and I strive to lead a decent and honest life.

"As part of my ongoing recovery I try to put right all of the wrongs I have done in the past, at least where I can, and this is why I am giving you back the money which I stole from you.

"I regret the harm I caused you in the past and I sincerely apologise to you for it.

"I was very wrong to do this and I hope that returning the money will make up for this harm, at least in some small way."

Two Winners in the Netflix Movie Watching Contest

Two people were in a contest where you had to stay up and watch movies for the longest. Netflix rewarded them with $10,000 each, and a trophy. They even broke a record! They also got a lifetime DVD rental service from Netflix. They stay through 57 consectutive movies. If they were 2 hours a piece, thats 114 hours, thats 4 days, 18 hours! But possibly some of the movies were longer. I wish I could do that.
