Watch: Auto worker's lost wallet found under hood 11 years later
Aug. 15 (UPI) -- A mechanic working on a 2015 Ford Edge brought into his Minnesota shop made a startling discovery under the hood: a wallet that had been lost by a Michigan Ford plant worker 11 years earlier. Richard Guilford, who is now retired, said he remembers the day he lost his wallet while working on vehicles that had been shipped to the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne after coming off the assembly line in Chicago with electrical issues. "I never wore sweatpants to work, but I did that day," he told KARE-TV. "And I had my wallet in my shirt pocket." Guilford and his team searched for the missing wallet, but there were 2,000 vehicles on the floor and they eventually had to give up. He said the wallet contained his driver's license, his Ford Motor Co. ID, $15 in cash and $250 worth of Cabela's sporting goods gift cards he had intended to use to buy Christmas presents for his kids. The wallet's final fate remained a mystery for 11 years, until Chad Volk, owner of LC Car Care in Crystal Lake, Minn., was working on a 2015 Ford Edge brought in to have its cooling fans replaced. Volk said he was attempting to put the air box back into place under the hood, but it wouldn't fit right. He removed it again and found Guilford's leather wallet sitting on top of the transmission. "I was surprised. You find stuff all the time, usually tools," Volk told the Detroit Free Press. "I looked through it and I see a Ford Motor Co. badge. I thought, 'I'm going to try finding this guy to see if I can get it back to him.'" Volk was quickly able to find and contact Guilford on Facebook, and the wallet was in the mail the next day. Volk said the Edge had about 150,000 miles on it when it came to his shop. "It's well-traveled currency," Guilford joked of the $15 cash, which was still safe inside the wallet, along with the rest of its contents. Guilford said Cabela's has agreed to issue him new gift cards, so he can keep his preserved wallet intact as a keepsake. "Some things in it were hot and crisp, think of how hot that car got," Guilford said. "It doesn't look like it ever got wet, just hot. That little corner kept [the wallet] completely dry and completely preserved. I want the wallet to stay as it is. It is a memento."

Woodward Dream Cruise celebrates 30 years: Detroit's iconic car event returns August 16
What started as a fundraiser for a soccer field in Ferndale, Michigan has turned into a 30-year tradition just north of Detroit. The Woodward Dream Cruise, a 16-mile joy ride packed with auto enthusiasts, is known for its unique display of cars that travel up and down Woodward Avenue, historic and modern alike — but all cars are welcome to join the drive on Saturday, Aug. 16. The Dream Cruise has several stops along its route, from car shows to live music, where drivers and spectators can show off their rides and explore different community events from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Here's everything you need to know for the Dream Cruise. What is the Woodward Dream Cruise? The Dream Cruise started in 1995 with the intention of raising money for a soccer field. That year, 250,000 people showed up. Now, more than 1 million people come to watch the sea of cars. Michael Lary says the event is so special because of the powerful stories that each car owner has to tell and the artistry that they get to show off. "There's a lot of imagination that's out there that you don't get to see on a regular basis, and during the Dream Cruise, you get to appreciate it," Lary said. When is the Woodward Dream Cruise 2025? The 2025 Woodward Dream Cruise is officially Saturday, Aug. 16. But a number of metro Detroit communities will host events throughout the day on both Friday, Aug. 15, and Saturday, Aug. 16. Where is the Dream Cruise? The Dream Cruise takes place along Woodward Avenue (M-1) in Michigan, primarily from Pontiac to Ferndale, with events and displays taking place all along the route. How to stream the Dream Cruise If you can't make it in person, but still want to be a part of the fun, check out the WXYZ-TV website to see the live broadcast of the event.

The Secret To 10.7% Annual Returns With Monthly Dividends
Monthly bills are no problem for careful contrarian readers banking 8.8% yields in monthly dividends. Let's discuss this rare but excellent dividend breed, the company or fund that pays monthly instead of quarterly. Only 6% of dividend payers dish monthly. The rest are quarterly or annually, which will likely not be in time to cover your upcoming cell phone bill. My monthly email from carrier Verizon arrives in a day or two. Another $267.26 will be debited from my account automatically on the 20th of August. Fortunately, Verizon notes that there is 'nothing I need to do' thanks to AutoPay. As if the automatic payment implies it costs any less money! On the bright side of the phone ledger, we have no landline. The cell bill is it. But don't fall asleep, bank account. All the other cord cutting exacts its pound of flesh! For example, we 'cut the cable cord' years ago. And replaced it with an equally pricey version, albeit a wireless one! YouTube TV has a base plan of $82.99. However, my August 29 tab will be $131.95 plus tax. How'd I manage a 50%+ premium? By demanding sports in 4K (+$9.99/month). And refusing to live a Sunday in the fall without NFL RedZone and its 6+ hours of live look ins across football games (+$10.99/month). Oh, and the WNBA season ticket that I watch with my daughters during the summer. Speaking of which, A/C is a must-have here in Sacramento! I paid the power company $187.76 two days ago and that's a light month for our summers. But the big one, the mortgage payment, dwarfs all. And oh yes, automatically deducted from our account on the first of August. 'Just' eleven years to go on the mortgage! We shortened to 15-years when we refi'd in 2021. My 'basketball dad' car is paid off (2019 Acura MDX) and, while motivated to drive it 'into the ground,' the odds are this car won't be my last. So the big monthly payment wheel keeps on spinning. I am sure you can relate to a few of these regular drains in your own life. For which we have a solution: plug these monthly drains with monthly dividends. How To Find The Best Monthly Dividends But you observe, 'Brett! You said only 6% pay monthly. How can I find them?' Glad you asked! Our Contrarian Income Report has a 'virtual monopoly' on the sector. We have 18 monthly payers yielding an average 8.8%. Think about that. A million bucks in the CIR monthly payer lineup generates $7,333.33 per month in passive income. Plus, the original million invested in these 'elite 18' stays intact. Or better yet, grinds higher! Since inception 10 years ago, our entire CIR portfolio has generated 10.7% in annual returns. And that's mostly paid in cash dividends, with the majority dishing monthly. Our CIR monthly dividend GOAT (greatest of all time) is DoubleLine Income Solutions Fund (DSL). In April 2016, we added DSL to the CIR portfolio at a price of $16.99 per share. Since then we have collected 111 monthly dividends that have totaled $15.27. That's 90% of our initial buy price in payouts. It's almost house money now! Imagine investing in a simple fund that trades just like any blue-chip stock—and earning your entire investment back within 10 years via monthly dividends. With the regular payout stream still rolling strong! And DSL is not a mere annuity. It's way better. DSL is a bond fund run by the 'bond god' himself Jeffrey Gundlach. The modern-day deity of fixed-income investing scours the globe to collect deals that power DSL's monthly 11-cent divvie. DSL yields 10.9% today. Investors with $100,000 invested in DSL shares enjoy $10,900 per year in passive dividend income. That's $908.33 in monthly deposits and—oh!—that's right: it's autopay, but to you! Enough to pay Verizon, YouTube TV and internet while air conditioning the house—with extra cash left over for a nice dinner! And a $50,000 stake in DSL delivers $454.17 in monthly payouts. That's still meaningful income to cover those every-30-day expenses. Now, I wouldn't pile everything into DSL today, when savvy investors can spread risk among 17 more solid monthly payers that deliver a green cash river too. This is diversification without di-worseification (thank you, Peter Lynch!). We want to retire on dividends, and the best way is to bulletproof our payout streams across asset classes, sectors and national borders. And that's our elite 18! We are not hanging on the Federal Reserve's next word. Nor are we glued to policymaker decisions. We are insulated from this noise by assembling an elite 8.8% paying portfolio of monthly dividend payers. Brett Owens is Chief Investment Strategist for Contrarian Outlook.
