Is it such a rare event when someone gets their belongings returned to them that it makes the news each time it happens ????

I'm happy to see reports like this in a newspaper.  It is a nice change rather than biased opinions or reports of crime. It was probably a slow news day and space in the page needed to be filled. Such an article gives everyone a break and a chance to turn off their cynic dial if they so choose.

Hell Yeah! God forbid, you would say anything good about it.

I think it´s great to hear that things actually happens the right way.

Perhaps tourists leaving stuff in a taxi is a rare event in itself.

hmm..... the ‘Quantum Mechanics approach’ to the discussion.... 

 

.... Until a bag is lost and found it exists in a state of both not being lost and not being found until it is lost, then found and reported on !!
