This should give you a good chuckle. The
Mail Online has a story about a couple that lost their bag at the airport. The
bag contained their passports, some cash, drivers’ licence, and their digital
camera.
When they realised that they had lost the
bag they went back to the airport to try and locate the bag. Unfortunately,
they could not find the missing bag. They therefore began the process of
obtaining an emergency passport, because they were due to travel again within
three days.
One can imagine how relieved they then were
when the bag arrived at their home, sent by post, from the person who had
apparently found the lost bag at the airport. Everything that had been in the
bag was there, including the cash, passports, and drivers’ licence. But one
item was missing. The camera. Instead of the camera, they found this note:
“I tripped on your bag on the road, near the exit of the car park but
there was no one to return it to.
I waited 15 minutes then took it home.
I am now returning the bag with the passports and your drivers
licence, avoiding you a lot of paperwork and unnecessary expense, as I
experienced last year in Spain when my handbag was snatched and my husband and
I lost our documents, camera, mobile phone and other personal items with much
inconvenience.
I am sure your gratitude will extend to let me keep the camera (I
never did replace mine) as a reward.
You will find the memory card with this letter so you can still see
your holiday snaps.
Hope you wont find my decision too harsh but often we have to pay
for our mistakes (like paying for a fine for speeding) and look at the whole
incident as a travel expense.
A good
Samaritan... but not that good.”[1]
