Chapter 18 - THE MISSING CARDS
Two of Milo’s cards remained missing.
Everyone wanted them found in Brady’s room.
They were not.
Police were not searching a thirteen-year-old’s house over low-value baseball cards without appropriate cause.
Kathleen voluntarily checked belongings with Brady.
Nothing.
Then Brady admitted:
He traded one card to another student.
He lost the other.
That student’s parent confirmed a trade had happened.
Did the receiving child know Milo had not freely given the card?
No.
The card was returned to Milo voluntarily.
The other remained gone.
Market value:
$18.
Emotional value:
Higher because it came from his grandfather.
Brady’s family reimbursed replacement value and offered to purchase an equivalent card.
Milo said:
“No.”
Why?
“Not same.”
Correct.
Some losses do not get fixed because money exists.
Brady wrote an apology.
