I was in a state after the theft of my handbag. Then I received a call from a man who had recovered it.

He was a life-saver and, believe me, he saved my life (metaphorically speaking).

He offered to bring the bag to me and did so. Everything was intact: My purse, spectacles, keys - all the things I couldn't manage without.

How wonderful to know honesty still exists in these troubled times.
