Brokenhearted museum opens

A museum dedicated to broken hearts has opened in Croatia.

Drazen Grubisic and Olinka Vistica decided to set up the museum after consoling friends after their breakups.

Items displayed at the museum in Zagreb include letters and mementos.

“We’ve never heard of such a museum and hope that it will be a form of therapy for all those people with broken hearts,” Grubisic said. “We have collected mementos, letters and different things from numerous people who have lost their loves.

“The museum has everything from romantic and touching letters to different gifts given to lovers like teddy bears and photos. Every single object on display has a full description of the relationship that was behind it and how that person has moved on. That’s why we think it could be therapeutic for those with newly broken hearts.”

Homeless man returns $900 found in trash

A homeless man in California who was searching for recyclable cans in a garbage bin found a wallet with $900 -and returned to its owner.

Kim Bogue, who works as a janitor, realized that her wallet was missing last week.

“I prayed that night and asked God to help me,” Bogue said.

The homeless man later found the wallet wrapped in a plastic bag in a trash bin, where Bogue had accidentally thrown it away with her lunch. He gave it to Sherry Wesley, who works in a nearby building.

“He came to me with the wad of money and said, ‘This probably belongs to someone that you work with, can you return it,'” Wesley said.

Workers at a local relief kitchen said the man, who didn’t want to be identified, insists on paying for the food they give him.

“He has a very good heart,” Bogue said, who gave the man a $100 reward. “If someone else found it, the money would be gone.”
