I would like to thank the kind and honest lady who found my purse and took it to the police.

I had lunch at the Meeting Place in Hove on August bank holiday but realised later I had lost my purse.

We returned with little hope but an employee told me a lady had found the purse under a table and was going to take it to the police station.

It was now I had stopped having thoughts of all the companies I had to ring to cancel cards, etc.

That evening two police officers came to my door with my purse.

I asked if they could share the lady’s details who handed it in but because of data protection they could not pass the information to me.

So a huge thank you to that mystery lady and the officers at Hove Police Station and those who brought the purse back to me.

Do not lose faith. There are decent people still around.
