On Saturday afternoon I left my handbag on the bus. In it were my cheque book, address
book and my purse, which contained about £50 in cash and some credit cards. When I
realized what I had done, it was too late. I didn’t know what to do; I am 72 years old, was
a long way from home, and I was quite worried. In fact, I stood by the side of the road
and just cried. A young man asked me what was wrong and I explained what had
happened to me. He gave me some money for my bus fare home. When I told the bus
driver what had happened he said I should keep the fare.
I got home safely and the telephone rang soon after. It was the manager of City Bus, the
company that owned the bus on which I had left my handbag. He said that they had my
handbag and he offered to drive over to return it. I had my handbag back, amazingly with
all its contents untouched. I would just like to say how wonderful everybody was who
helped me on that day, and how much
I appreciate their kindness and honesty.
