arminbkk Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 For all the negative folks, you see, there is good here too! Now I can't imagine leaving/forgetting those kinds of belongings in a bus, but I did recently forget my old mobile phone at a Macdonald's, but the elderly Thai lady that had been sitting near me came running out after me to give it to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
