There is no excuse for the person not contacting condor with an explanation and apology.
The entire situation simply reinforces my credo: Always expect the worst from people and you will never be disappointed. Sometimes, pleasantly surprised but, never disappointed!
Not to say one shouldn't do for others, just never expect a pleasant outcome. The only way for condor to have been successful in his endeavor to help others would have been to get the money up-front. But, then he would have been the condor we all love and admire.
