That is was so nice of whoever! :D
I hope that if I ever loose my purse whoever finds it will be kind enough to return it, expesially before they empty out all the cash;)!

Thanks Louise! That`s really nice of you to say. I hope you get to come to the U.S. soon...and contrary to what you said, I thought the people in Great Britain were wonderful! Seven years ago I visited London and everyone was so polite to us. My friend and I got hopelessly lost on the Underground (we were 14 and without ANY idea what to do) and half a dozen Londonites helped us get home along the way. Thanks for your reply, and have a great week!!! :)

That is the most knidest story i have ever heard im british and im glad the repuration americans get isn`t at all true, i hope to visit there soon. In britain no one does anything like that exept in center parcs sherwood the people there are so happy bout thier holiday they can`t be bothered to steal. I`m glad you found your purse and i wouldn`t dare critizize you because that would show i had an intellagence of about 0 i think that was a great announcement if you ever need to talk im a listener (in training) so just email me or if your with yahoo pm me i`m (as you`ve already guessed) sunshine_182uk

This has nothing to do with hair, but I wanted to let everyone know kind people DO still exist in our cynical world.

I was shopping in JCPenney today (not something I do often but Wonderbras were on sale) and was having a great time until a hour after leaving the mall I realized my purse wasn`t with me. As a 21-year-old college student out to dinner with my visiting parents, I did the logical thing and begged them to tell me what to do. We drove back to the mall. I talked to security, to management, the cashiers--no one had my purse. I was trying hard NOT to cry, but my purse had $200 in cash (more than a small fortune in my world) my license, several work/school IDs, three credit cards and my favorite photo of my long-time boyfriend and me.

We gave the manager my name and info, and as we began to walk away in despair (and tears by now), another employee came running up with my purse in hand. Someone had turned it in. And here`s the thing---not a cent was missing. Everything, right down to my ratty elastic hair tie was inside. I wish I could thank that person with the integrity to turn in my purse. They didn`t save my life but they sure made it a lot easier. So why did I post this? I don`t know. Maybe to tell everyone that Americans aren`t all greedy opportunists. Thank you stranger.

Goodnight all!
