My mum had her purse stolen some years ago from her bag, whilst standing watching a street entertainer in town,
Enclosed was money, a couple of family photographs, & her name & address info, plus the front door key...
We had a phone call one night shortly afterwards, at about midnight(!) from a man, saying he had 'found' the purse and was ringing us to let us know he would be returning it...
Funnily enough we never did receive the purse .. More likely he was ringing to see if anyone was home before letting himself in! .. :o/
Lucky we'd had the lock changed.
