My husband called into his favorite pub for a drink on his way back from work a few weeks ago. When he got home he discovered that his mobile phone, a note book with all his telephone numbers, a medical card and about £150 in cash had been expertly lifted (as they say) from an inside pocket. He didn't think it was worth reporting so just put it down to bad luck.
A couple of weeks later at a very early hour there was a knock at the door. It was a policeman asking him to come to the police station as something had been handed in for him to collect. And lo and behold! When he arrived he was handed his mobile, his note book, the medical card, and of all things £50 in notes!
The police were astonished and said they had never known such a thing before.
Was it a person with a strong conscience!!

What good fortune to find someone of basic honesty,it is unfortunatly rare for this thing to happen and i think he or she must have being brought up correctly.It's a shame he never went the whole mile.
I can't imagine how it came to be returned even though I'm glad it was - Was it the thief who returned it?
