What Cheered You Up Today?

I've found a photocopy of the missing notes I made in 1988, on the B-25 Mitchell in RAF service, which has answered my question on the serial number presentation - Hurrah !!
Just got to find the file with the scale plans (better than those in the 'Warpaint' book I got a couple of days ago), but that's not that important.
 
Got my Mazda MPV cleaned out and ready to leave at the KIA dealer when I pick up my new Sorento V-6 AWD with all the goodies.
The MPV's third row seat went back in for the first time since the day I bought it.
 
If this is genuine, and it appears to be so, as the confirmation came from the correct e-bay Dublin address, 'signed' by the person who 'phoned me, then I should buy a lottery ticket.
I very rarely win anything, but when I do, it tends to be in threes, close together, and in a Leap year too.
Haven't seen any deposit in my Paypal account yet, so I'll check it out tomorrow, to make sure it is genuine. I wasn't asked for personal details, just to confirm my username, during the initial 'phone call, when I was then informed I'd won.
 
The caller told me my e-bay user name, asked me to confirm my own name, and asked me to confirm my Paypal e-mail address, but didn't ask for any other 'security' related information, or bank details etc.
I was told the sum would be credited to my Paypal account (I don't deposit funds in this A/C, I use a Debit card instead), and that an e-mail, confirming my win, would be sent to me, which it was.
The e-mail details, header, logos, security info and postal address all check out.
As no personal details were asked for, or given, I can't see any scam and, unless someone has a really bent sense of humour, I can't see a reason to contact me to inform me of a win, unless I have won.
I'll be contacting e-bay tomorrow, to double check though, as no credit has been made to the PP account yet.
 
Looks like it is some sort of scam, although with no personal info given by me, I can't see what they've gained that they didn't already have.
I contacted e-bay, and was informed that there is no such promotion running at the moment, and that they'd had a few calls reporting similar incidents.
Ah well, as my Granny used to say "What you've never had, you'll never miss".
 
My stolen Toyota was recovered this ,morning. Other than some cheapo tools, my tire inflator, jumper cables, and my wrap around sun glasses, it was complete and drive able. At first I thought the ignition lock cylinder was messed up, but after working with it for a little while, it too is working well. The steering wheel and gear shift knob were cleaned, so I guess he couldn't stand the feel of the sticky oil and dirt. Most likely gave him nightmares and still can't get his hands clean. He only drove it for 5 miles and got out as quickly as he could.
