Lost Property
24 Answers
Have you ever misplaced something valuable and later been reunited with it thanks to an honest person?
Or have you found something of value and returned it to its rightful owner?
I left a rare Louis Vuitton White Goat leather bag with 1,800 Canadian dollars, my passport and all my bank cards in the bag of a taxi in Toronto and got it back thanks to a very honest Cab Driver called Ebenezer.
I left a pair of D&G Sunglasses in a Pierogi restaurant in Krakow and a lovely Polish lady chased me across the road to give them back to me. They weren't horrendously expensive but they're quite unusual and I've never seen another pair like them.
I once found a wallet containing a wad of notes and various bank cards on a train just as it was pulling into Hereford and I handed it in to the Ticket office. I just hope it did get back to its rightful owner.

I once visited the pub loo, just before closing time, for a sit down - couldn't wait 'til i got home. Next day, discovered an empty space in the back pocket of my jeans where my wallet usually lives. Being a Friday, the wallet contained quite a sum of money. Went to the pub on Saturday afternoon with what few pounds i had left, where the landlord passed me my wallet,...

when my daughter was younger, she found a penny in the streed and wanted to take it to a police station. When i tried to explain she asked me how much it would be before you should take it in.. It was a tricky question to answer. I've picked up 20 pouund notes before now and thought nothing of keeping it.

Went to the pub on Saturday afternoon with what few pounds i had left, where the landlord passed me my wallet, informing me that the cleaning lady had found it.
As i knew her, i popped round to her house in order to give her a fiver for being so honest. She wouldn't accept the money, but she said i could buy her 10 Woodbine and leave them over the bar for her. Peggy Wolstenholme, you were a star!

Many years ago I was in a rowing boat with my brother, I wanted to swim back to the shore and gave my new wedding ring to my brother for safe keeping. Bless him he dropped it into the sea. He dived down to find it to no avail.
Days later he found a notice in the newspaper shop saying a ring had been found. Apparently it ended on the propeller of a passing yacht. How lucky was that.

Wow that was lucky, Zylaphone.
Many, many years ago I noticed that a diamond was missing out of my ring and the claw was broken. I was understandably upset. About 3 days later I saw something sparkly in the carpet just outside the bathroom door and it was the missing diamond. I was so happy I'm sure I did a little jig. My local jeweller didn't want to do the repair job because it was such a complicated and unusual design so I had to send it back to Selfridges for repair. The *** charged me about £400 to repair it.
