Don't forget to get coffee with the man, when you're that age a lot of the people you were friends with aren't around anymore, so the company would be good for him.
My husband found a box of photos and photo albums in a house that was being torn down, he asked the men who were tearing it down, if he could look inside before they started and the let him go inside. We kept those photos and photo albums with us from home to new home to new home and then finally I told my husband that I was going to try one last time to find someone related to the photos.... I found the name of a girl on the back of one of those photos. I looked in the telephone book, this was before the internet. We had moved so many times to different towns and lo and behold I saw the exact name in the telephone book! I called her and sure enough, that house had belonged to an Aunt of hers! She had tiny photos that she owned and I had the full sized photos. 8x10's in the box! We gladly gave her the box! She wanted to give us money, but we could not accept, this was a mission of love! We held onto that box for over 20 years. So glad we found someone who was related to the original owner!
The older gentleman probably felt a little less lonely on his birthday, wrapped in memories of his mom and wife. It was a simple deed with a huge impact. You made a difference in one person's life and it made all the difference in the world to him.

dude that is so fucking insanely cool to me, I am absolutely fascinated with the titanic I think I would have freaked out finding that did you frame it?
If you found that your a lucky guy cause the titanic was one of the worst disasters in the 1900s you should bring it with you when they build the titanic 2
That can be sold at an insane amount btw. Somewhere between 300$ - 500$ or if you have the complete news paper it will be 4 or 5 times that amount. That is if its authentic... some of the titanic newspapers had fake news in it like saying there was no lives lost.
Could just be a recreation from after the movie came out. Lots were made after the movie came out, their is an episode of one in the tv show Gold and Silver Pawnshop
Someone hid it because they thought it was important and they were right. Have it checked for authenticity just in case and keep it. If you decide to sell it, save it for a rainy day when you really need it, plus it will probably be worth more as time goes by

80 year old man gets back stolen belongings after nearly 20 years, doesn’t lament any monetary losses but reflects instead on who he was with and the memory value of essentially worthless documents. In the end it isn’t about riches. Good video, great lessons for life.
not to be an asshole. but thats what old people do... they tend to get runny noses and general weaker health so being able to wipe their nose is always handy.
@@dmitrijsmironovs7513 Yeah i guess but its not just because of that. Middle and higher class guys have handkerchiefs now but back then, it was very common. Everyone have them, even women. So its not like only old people with runny nose uses them, all old people 'still' uses them
Hey man, to cut down paper waste, I always carry a handkerchief for drying my hands after washing them. I thought drying hands with paper at work/public bathrooms is so wasteful, seeing mounds of paper filling up big waste bins everyday. So I started carrying around handkerchief in my pocket everyday. I’m grossed out at the idea of blowing phlegm into a handkerchief and sticking it back into your pocket, so I only use it to wipe away clean water or minor tea spills... and of course, tears!
I’m crying because if someone did this for my grandpa that would melt my heart. You are a beautiful soul. Thank you for this video. This was remarkable.
I like that he is street smart enough to not reveal anything that some doxxing bastards would use. This is very well done both emotionally and rationally.
He got his mother's scarf back, that must have been a little extra special. I know I'd be ecstatic if someone found and let me buy my grandmothers old accordion of them. Dad sold it when she passed, and it is really the only thing I remember about her. She didn't speak too much swedish, mainly German, so she would just play the accordion when I was sad or upset.

The Dutch are hardy people. A nation of cyclists. I lived there for two years. You bike down the street and it is amazing how many Dutch ride bicycles. Women with children in the bike equivalent to a car seat, teenagers, adults, and the elderly.... all cycling along and it is 100% normal. Very good bike lanes for it and the traffic is used to it and has a lot of regard for cyclists, normally. Some are carting around groceries with them, other briefcases full of important papers... I've even seen people carrying things like lamps. Most impressive was watching the Dutch cycle in the rain while holding an umbrella like it was second nature. A lifetime of that keeps your body strong (and the cheese and milk and bier!). It was no wonder to me when that the old man said he was fine standing like that. After what I saw of how they cycle everywhere for a large part of their daily lives, young and old alike, you know that the older people in the Netherlands are probably stronger in body (and mind) than many people the same age in other parts of the Western world.

Dutch sounds so much like a hybrid between german, danish and swedish. Even as a Swed I can pick up like every 4-6 word. Man it's so neat to hear that something thats so old can be so similar.
@@012345678944107 yeah dutch and german is quite similar. I think me being fluent in german as a very young child helps. Sadly I cant really speak german anymore as I never used it past 5 years old.

Just hearing them talking through phone, i suddenly miss my grandpa, hes also talkative as him. My granda passed away 4 years ago, i cant see him for the last time cause i missed my flight due to accident
Was so nice to hear your Dutch, I lived in the Netherlands for several years. I am Australian and have a friend here in Australia who is a marine archaeologist. He did the survey on some Catalina flying boats, that were sunk in Broome Western Australia by Japanese Zero's during WW2. The planes were filled with Ex pat Dutch people fleeing from Indonesia during the war.. The zeros that attacked them here, went on to bomb pearl harbour a few weeks later. During this project he managed to find some toys that belonged to children who survived the attack, and was able to reunite them with their owners after all these years. He managed to have an exhibition in the Netherlands and was able to meet the original owners. Well done you, I hope you went back for coffee with stroopwaffles, They both remind me of rainy days in the Netherlands..... lecker 😋 What a wonderful thing you did 😊
That wonderful feeling of reuniting someone with something they thought gone forever. I experienced something like when I was able to save my mom's cat when she told the vet to put the cat to sleep after it had been hit by a car and the surgery to heal the cat was more than my parents could afford at the time. My best friend worked for the vet and knew what my mom had said. He and I talked to the vet and asked if he would take payments over time to do the surgery. He agreed. The surgery went well and my friend and I snuck the cat (in a large dog cage) down into our basement. We told my mom we had something for her downstairs. When she saw the cat, she started crying for joy. I think that was the first time (I was about 20) I had ever seen my mom sobbing! She was so happy!! The cat lived for many more years. :o)
I love the soul inside you my dear how sweet are you to find these belongings and simply return , my dear ur special to GOD ans to all us out here who also care , thank you.from ky
You probably just added a few years to his life. By giving his body such a rejuvenating jolt. You are cool brother. I am so happy that I witnessed this. It made me feel good.
Not only is he a amazing collector of the war like me me and do re-enactments and pays attention to every detail in his war efforts he is also an amazing and kind person. Thank you nick for everything you have done to people around the world and entertaining me because I’m an old soul and I’m 12 I love the wars and you just make my day every day so once again thank you Nick
The relief on his face after getting all those things back specially the ones which belonged to his mum. Moms are treasure.He surely loved his mom more than any thing.
You are a special guy. There aren't enough like you around any more. It's so wonderful to see someone giving unconditionally. Keep that attitude and spread it around!
It was so heartwarming to see him light up & become excited over each piece shown especially the items that belonged to his mother since she has passed on. What a beautiful opportunity to share that with him. I bet he really enjoyed your visit & the chance to share a bit about his family. You have done so much good right there!
You are so good person, you know. You know, we cant find a person like you nowadays, atleast where I am living. But , atleast i could see this video and feel so good about it. Thanks for posting this video sir.
One of my friends from long ago online is Dutch and speaks with an American accent because he said he watch lots of American movies as a kid to learn better.
So wonderful. My brother searches for things too, He treats every item of a personal nature with such respect. Because they belonged to someone. It represents a life. To be able to find the long lost owner must be the greatest feeling. My brother would understand the feelings that you can not find words for. My brother, you are great men.

@@AA-pj2vm I didn't get abuse I would just cry to see my super nintendo my bike clothes kuz it will bring back memories. what's your facebook or location and I'll show you how much of a nerd I am my boy.
@@AA-pj2vm speak for yourself 😂 you just gave your past away ,😂
We need more folks like you in this world.
For once, I’m grateful for the algorithm here on TH-cam and getting this on my recommended
I'm in the area of youtube where someone is cutting up onions.
those damn ninjas cutting onions
Eh, it's just the sappy music in the background.
Onions here too... ❤️
I was brought up to not show any weakness but i cannot explain these feelings... I love it
Your username is priceless
It's such a wonderful and special video. Sure the objects don't have any intrinsic value, but they have sentimental value, which is worth far more than any piece of gold or jewelry. You gave him memories back, and that's the best gift anyone can give.
Dutch sounds so much like a hybrid between german, danish and swedish. Even as a Swed I can pick up like every 4-6 word. Man it's so neat to hear that something thats so old can be so similar.
Plague Doc they’re all germanic so ofc they are quite the same.
@@Potjenjks2988 I know but it's just neat to see how even though we've been seperate countries for hundreds of years we can still pick up words.
@@Plague_Doc22 I speak german and I can pickup everything
@@012345678944107 yeah dutch and german is quite similar. I think me being fluent in german as a very young child helps. Sadly I cant really speak german anymore as I never used it past 5 years old.
Frrr samee im part swedish and understand some words too
aw why am I crying😂😂
That’s so awesome. I had lost a wallet for a year and a half in a town 2 hours away and it made its way back to me from a stranger. So I couldn’t even imagine how that guy felt. I’m so happy right now I’m glad I watched this! (:
I love how this TH-camr really made an effort to find the man.
Oi! Felix I did not know you watch these stuff hahah ah
Me: watching in a public transport with a dozen people
Also me: *holds back tears*
I was wonder what's with all the yes and yeah
@@joshuaavila8317 Just something people do. We all have words or phrases that we tend to repeat in certain situations.
@jay bell LOL wait there's more, even tho i succeeded in holding back the tears, i couldnt stop them from coming out my nose! Those tears find a way!
What a heart warming story! Now he has his belongings and a new friend.
Just hearing them talking through phone, i suddenly miss my grandpa, hes also talkative as him. My granda passed away 4 years ago, i cant see him for the last time cause i missed my flight due to accident
Will you stay in touch with him? He seems like a kindly man.

This genuinely made me cry seeing him talkin and receiving it and he remembered it so much as if it was yesterday
Was so nice to hear your Dutch, I lived in the Netherlands for several years. I am Australian and have a friend here in Australia who is a marine archaeologist. He did the survey on some Catalina flying boats, that were sunk in Broome Western Australia by Japanese Zero's during WW2. The planes were filled with Ex pat Dutch people fleeing from Indonesia during the war.. The zeros that attacked them here, went on to bomb pearl harbour a few weeks later. During this project he managed to find some toys that belonged to children who survived the attack, and was able to reunite them with their owners after all these years. He managed to have an exhibition in the Netherlands and was able to meet the original owners. Well done you, I hope you went back for coffee with stroopwaffles, They both remind me of rainy days in the Netherlands..... lecker 😋 What a wonderful thing you did 😊
this is the recommended videos i want. youtube, take notes
That wonderful feeling of reuniting someone with something they thought gone forever. I experienced something like when I was able to save my mom's cat when she told the vet to put the cat to sleep after it had been hit by a car and the surgery to heal the cat was more than my parents could afford at the time. My best friend worked for the vet and knew what my mom had said. He and I talked to the vet and asked if he would take payments over time to do the surgery. He agreed. The surgery went well and my friend and I snuck the cat (in a large dog cage) down into our basement. We told my mom we had something for her downstairs. When she saw the cat, she started crying for joy. I think that was the first time (I was about 20) I had ever seen my mom sobbing! She was so happy!! The cat lived for many more years. :o)
wow that is such a sweet thing to do 🥺💖🥰
There's nothing more heart warming then seeing an old man with tears of joy in his eyes. Great video ! Wishing you many blessings from Canada ! ❤ 🇨🇦
Hummingbird 22 ♥️ canadians will always/ have always been the best! To many more years of friendship ♥️
HOW CAN THERE BE ANY NEGATIVE DISLIKES ON THIS VIDEO? I AM SO GLAD YOU BROUGHT GOOD MEMORIES BACK TO THE MAN WHO HAD THE ITEMS STOLEN! WELL DONE
That was really nice of you tracking him down and returning his belongings. Respect !
Respect +good quality content
Me who speaks Afrikaans and can understand almost everything they say it is truly amazing and hart warming for the man to get his belongings back
@Pickle 😂😂well ek kan dan nie verstaan nie
Germanic languages rule!
yes its easy to understand if you listen carefully because the words are so similar so you can piece together what they are saying.
yeah, after all, afrikaans is basically just dutch spoken by boers
@@benjolicious 😂
This is one of the most humane things that I have ever seen
I love the soul inside you my dear how sweet are you to find these belongings and simply return , my dear ur special to GOD ans to all us out here who also care , thank you.from ky
He seemed like a nice man. So glad you did the right thing and returned it to him.
He really is!! :)
He is not a nice guy he is more than nice he is perfect
"One man's trash, is another man's treasure." 😀
Watch out and don't get called trash in a game
@lol
Don't wait to go back and have that coffee with him. Time is precious and can slip away before you know it.
and how sad that we only learn that lesson when it is too late.
You probably just added a few years to his life. By giving his body such a rejuvenating jolt.
You are cool brother. I am so happy that I witnessed this. It made me feel good.
You gave that man a little piece of his mum back. I'll bet that scarf is now one of his most precious possessions.
Please do go back to see him and have coffee and cake, you dont have to record it
Lisa nah
That’s sweet Lisa
Lisa he did go back. He posted it.
@@AA-pj2vm whats wrong with you
@@AA-pj2vm what
When he said he had a tear In his eye, I aswell had a tear in my eye
Not only is he a amazing collector of the war like me me and do re-enactments and pays attention to every detail in his war efforts he is also an amazing and kind person. Thank you nick for everything you have done to people around the world and entertaining me because I’m an old soul and I’m 12 I love the wars and you just make my day every day so once again thank you Nick
Thank you for your kind comment!! I really appreciate your words! Happy New Year, and I wish you and your family all the best!!
His mother wanted to give him a birthday surprise.
wow, you're right!
Why you gotta make me cry like this?
Yes! Same thoughts here 🙏🏻
His mother gave the best and the most unxpected gift for his 80th 🎂
why are you cutting onions!?
The relief on his face after getting all those things back specially the ones which belonged to his mum. Moms are treasure.He surely loved his mom more than any thing.
Omg, I got chills when he finally realized it was himself and not his sons! Just makes me want to cry. You are such a nice young man. God bless you!
You, sir, are a gentleman! God Bless you for your kindnesses to him. 🇨🇦
You young man are a top-shelf individual...
Thanks for your kind comment!! :)
You are a special guy.
There aren't enough like you around any more.
It's so wonderful to see someone giving unconditionally.
Keep that attitude and spread it around!
Well said!
the 22 dislikes were from the people who stole this old mans stuff
That's a lot of people for three bags
54 dislikes now? Jeez alot of people robbed it i guess lol
Most of them are Kids who dont understand their language
The ones who robbed his mother's life
Nov.9,2019
Triple the dislikes now.
It was so heartwarming to see him light up & become excited over each piece shown especially the items that belonged to his mother since she has passed on. What a beautiful opportunity to share that with him. I bet he really enjoyed your visit & the chance to share a bit about his family. You have done so much good right there!
You're a good guy. The world needs more human beings with big hearts like you. Thank you for your uplifting story.
Definitely but people go through a lot and change
You are so good person, you know. You know, we cant find a person like you nowadays, atleast where I am living. But , atleast i could see this video and feel so good about it.
Thanks for posting this video sir.
Damn your English is good. It's sometimes hard to tell you're not American.
Plot twist: he is really American and he is speaking Dutch with an accent.
He's not American?!
@H7r S7sbe as a solely English speaking person I disagree
H7r S7sbe English is incredibly more difficult because most other languages share the same accents and alphabet.
One of my friends from long ago online is Dutch and speaks with an American accent because he said he watch lots of American movies as a kid to learn better.
I've been smiling all the time. You're a kindhearted man. BLess you.
Please go back and see him again!! He's a Sweetheart
Dude, the world needs more people like you, that's lovely.
old people always having a tissue in their pocket :) so wholesome
So wonderful. My brother searches for things too, He treats every item of a personal nature with such respect. Because they belonged to someone. It represents a life. To be able to find the long lost owner must be the greatest feeling. My brother would understand the feelings that you can not find words for. My brother, you are great men.
