"During his act of heroism Wiese lost a few of his everyday personal items such as his keys, cell phone and about $1300 cash that he was planning to use for bills."

Seriously? Did he kick in the door and dump out everything from his pockets?

Maybe he used a jacket to beat the flames down or something, and forgot his wallet was in it. Its not odd that an older man would have a wad of money on him. My grandfather and uncle didn't want bank accounts, and would often have more than 1000 in their pocket.

I was thinking the exact same thing, did he attempt to stamp out the fire with his bag that had all his stuff in it?

Don't get me wrong, it's GREAT he saved lives and all, but I just don't understand the "loss of items" part.

 

[The Hammer]

Maybe he tried to smother the fire with all his money.

$1300?!?! Have we just seen Osmo in the flesh? :\

It's great to see that he was able to get everybody out safely.

Sounds like an iffy insurance claim.

 

[brutalbrutus]

Coincidentally, I was wearing the same hat when I went out for breakfast this morning.....but I only lost $6 on the lottery.

He was at the tournament I just played this Saturday, i'm sure no one knows this but he talked the Shreveport police that day into giving us 25 more minutes to leave the park because it closes as soon as it gets dark. We actually had to move the awards ceremony to a nearby church parking lot afterwards because the tournament ended so late.

I didn't know there was a disc golfer that had $1300 to his name.

 

[MikeK]

Bet you didn't know he is the TD of this year's Louisiana State Championships!

Yes, I will be sponsoring it now

Good exposure for disc golf. It's just good to get the images of discs and "disc golf" out there.

Way to represent the state and the sport. Good on ya Mr. Wiese.

i'll have to stop by his shop next time I'm in Shreveport

 

[namar]

The guy pays his mortgage in cash AND saves lives!? Someone get him a cape.

Solid work sir, way to be an ambassador.

 

[Halcón]

He risked his life to save another. A true act of valor. Terrific story.

 

[Sagecoast]

Can't believe the f'd up comments, some from people I used to read with respect. The man risked his life to save a complete stranger. He was still emotionally overcome when they interviewed him. A truly extraordinary act. And folks suggest he's scamming? Are you kidding me?

 

[The Hammer]

To be clear, I wasn't suggesting any sort of impropriety. I just thought it was rather odd that he lost $1300. I actually had to read it again to be sure I caught it correctly.
