I think most people are honest unfortunately we hear about the dishonest ones. I also find people are very kind and helpful. We live in a much nicer world than is sometimes shown in the media.

Two of my grandkids (grown and flown) went through a spate of losing phones, wallets, expensive coats ( I think they ve grown up a bit more now and I m sure it had nothing to do with nights out hahaha) but each time they got everything back,…. everything, it amazed me
Even an Uber driver brought my grandaughters purse to her house They are either the luckiest ever or (young) people are a LOT more honest than we give them credit for andi m pretty sure it s the later
I always try and find owners

There are lots of honest people, actually, most people are honest. Glad your daughter’s got her bag back. Yes, we mums are always surplus to requirement. I find that on the family group, my comments are always ignored. They don’t ‘get ‘ my SOH or my POV ..

I know there was another thread before about this, but I can't find it. Just wanted to share something which happened today......

My DD is away in the Netherlands for a few days with her BF. They flew to Amsterdam, caught a bus and then were waiting for a train to their onward destination, around an hour away. She suddenly realised that her small bag was missing, containing passports & purse. She group-called myself and her sister in a panic, not knowing what to do. We advised her to return to the station over the road. Her BF was already calling the emergency number. I left the sisters to it as I was surplus to requirement in the conversation and big sister had it covered 🥰 Anyway, it turns out that her bag was found by someone unknown, handed in and was picked up by my daughter in The Hague, an hour away, contents untouched. Secretly I thought she would never see it again. But my faith in humanity has been restored and she can enjoy her trip away (for her BF's birthday) and be able to get home, hassle free.

One happy Mumma!
