Kind (or lazy?) strangers

So I am staying at this hotel in northern BC right now.  On Monday after I checked in, I did a load of laundry at the guest laundromat but after collecting all of it I discovered that I was missing a sock.  It was a cheap sock and I was sort of too tired to go look for it, and just assumed it had been eaten by the dryer or something.

But TODAY I went down to do another load of laundry and GUESS what was sitting on the table in the laundromat????  My missing sock!  I am sort of amazed.  Someone actually discovered the sock somewhere in the room and left it on the table for me to find and no one decided to throw it out for 5 days?

I'm not sure if this is kindness or laziness.  Probably laziness, but I'll pretend it's kindness.
