Experienced two random acts of kindness in one day, how brilliant!

Today DH gave DD £10: £5 pocket money + £5 to come back in change. DD went to our local music shop to buy a capo (clamp) for her guitar. Discovering that the capos started at £7, she rang to ask could she take the extra money? Before I could even say yes, I could hear someone offering her the £2. Turns out a stranger gave her the £2 (and no monkey business about it either), so thank you so much whoever you are!

Then on the way home from the music shop DD was playing on a green about 15 mins walk from home. When she got home she realised she'd misplaced the aforementioned capo at the green. I gave her a lift back, but we could not find it. DD asked a group of three Mums if they had seen it but, alas, they had not. Queue two disappointed people returning home empty-handed.
But later this evening there was a knock at the door. To my utter surprise there was one of the Mums, with three children, and the capo! One of the girls had found it and they walked all the way to our house to return it. I was amazed. I asked how did you know where we lived?! The Mum said she recognised DD from school runs to the primary school, so she figured we lived on this Close. So they walked here and knocked on two doors to hunt us down.
What fabulously kind people to go to all that trouble! I said thank you and I wanted to show them how much I appreciated their effort, but I didn't have much in the house, so all I was able to give the girls was a share bag of toffee popcorn. It was only afterwards that thought that I should have at least asked their names and offered them a lift back. So I just want to say thank you so much, whoever you are.
Kind, kind people!
Faith in human nature restored, and it made me curious about what random acts of kindness you've experienced?
