Lost & Found

On the way to the bus stop last Monday morning, we noticed a heap of loose papers on the footpath. Nearby was a wallet. All together there was enough to identify the owner of the wallet, who turned out to live a couple of streets from our place. His wallet had apparently been stolen the night before - and even though he had already left for work by the time we knocked at his door at 7am - we did phone him in time to let him know his wallet was found, with cards, licence, etc before he had time to cancel them all. When we dropped the wallet back to him that evening, he handed over a wonderful bunch of flowers and a card - which had a bunch of instant lottery tickets in it. What a lovely gesture!
