dkhank Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 We were in Poundland on the Moor this afternoon when I found a purse on the floor. I looked in for I.D. and saw a picture of a child. Me and my husband went round the store looking for this child but couldn't find her so I handed it to one of the cashiers. Immediately the person she was serving shouted her friend and told her her purse had been found. Now I'm so glad it went back to it's rightful owner BUT... am I being picky to have expected "thankyou" Not a word. Just took it from the cashier who pointed me out and they turned their back and left. I would like to think some one would be honest enough to hand mine in if the occasion happened but I KNOW I would have said thankyou. yeah but some people dont have manners!!!!!!!!

Moonbird Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 many years ago when we had double decker busses on my route i found a bag full of money, i looked inside and there must have been thousands, i handed it in to the police station thinking it was probably some takings or other... i didn't want anyone to get the sack because of me. I was told to ring back in x amount of time as if it wasn't claimed i could keep it, well it was claimed... but i never got even a thank you note for my honesty, i never have forgotten that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strix Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 How exactly would the owner have tracked your address down to send you a note??That's what I wanted to know when we found a very expensive mobile phone many years ago, and handed it in to the police. 6 months later we got a letter from the resaurant owner who'd lost it offering us a free meal, and explaining it had been very difficult to track us down. We've still no idea how he managed it Re this purse though. We never hand things in to shops or bars any more, we merely tell them we have found the item (incase anybody asks if it's been handed in), and tell them we're taking it to the police station. You just can't trust shop workers or bar workers anymore unfortunately *awaits comments on police trustworthiness* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 How exactly would the owner have tracked your address down to send you a note?? Quite simply by asking the police when they claimed their bag/money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Kiddick Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 How exactly would the owner have tracked your address down to send you a note?? They should have received a receipt from the police. I handed some lost property in once & recieved a receipt with my name & address & a box to tick if I did or didn't wish the property owner to be privvy to my details (in case they wanted to thank me).

tom3t0 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 ive found a few phones before, took them home and rung "home" "mum/dad" stating ive found the phone and did they want to pick it up/meet in town. one guy was called "pipo" top bloke, he bought us a pack of fags for me being honest. i'd never hand anything in after working for a cinema in sheffield cleaning, on my first day i was told if you find anything keep it, especially phones. the reason was one of the cleaner's friends had bought a mobile handed in by the cleaner from the security. the security were pocketing everything and keeping it/selling it for themselves.

I would like to think some one would be honest enough to hand mine in if the occasion happened but I KNOW I would have said thankyou. Actually I wonder if the roles were reversed, would this ill mannered bird have handed your purse in? It would appear that the scutter populus is growing and becoming more and more scutterish with each mutation. I say mutation, these people have not been bred, or brought up. They are the result of a one night drunken bunk up because the johnny machine had bust, or maybe a passing tramp had a **** into the tampax bin. Jesus wept, my intolerance of these burks is getting less and less. I've had one behind me in the queue at tescos this afternoon, rowing with the slack jawed baseball cap bedecked boyfriend and his mother. Not just a slight altercation but a full on row with all the gory details. It turns out that the slack jawed loser has fathered three kids to three mothers of which the young bird is one and was proudly displaying the product in a DHSS supplied pushchair. She would have been barely 18, and the kid was a toddler, so logic dictates that we (stupid bloody tax payers) have kept the slapper and its spawn for at least three years. Add into the mix another two stupid birds in the same position, and the bill keeps rising. Is there any hope whatsoever of reversing the current trend amongst these rat people who seem to make a good living shagging and popping out brats? Perhaps the time has come to make breeding an invite only event and rid the gene pool of these ******s for good. Post of the month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalaland Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Yes. The OP has already said that the photo in the purse matched the child. Yes I saw this after I posted. I was posting from work and kept stopping to finish the job I was waiting for so it took me longer to post. At the time I started my post there wasn't a reply and no previous mention of a child matching the photo in the other posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
