The Purse



Husband M and I were inside a coffee shop when I noticed this purse sitting the table without an owner in sight. The lady had gone to the washroom! I wanted to tell her to be careful upon her return but I didn't feel comfortable doing that.

If it was a crowded coffee shop she wanted to take a seat however it is not safe I think.

when i was little i remember peoplewere not as afraid of theft and often they would leave their important stuff behind

but now one cannot even think to do so

You'll are too nice and trusting in Canada.


I once found a purse and took it to the lost and found. It had 5K in it. Lady apparently never sent a thank you.

Oh gosh...I wouldn't even leave my soda on a table if I had to go to the washroom!

I often asked by people to take care their belonging when they want to go to washroom...so far, I am happy....

Maybe an "integrity test."

Good grief! That is not a smart thing to do. However, I've seen people at stores sometimes leave their bags with purse, etc. in the shopping cart and go to another aisle. That always boggles my mind. Maybe things are safer in Canada. Not in the U.S.

That's tricky! I cannot imagine leaving my purse like that.

Wow...how very trusting...but not wise! Years ago my friend on a trip left her purse in the seat at a Mac Donald 2 hours from there home. Didn't realize it till they got home. Called the Mac Donald's and a honest person had turned it in with all contents in place. My hubby and hers drove back the 2 hours to get it.

you would like to think you could do something like that anywhere but not everyone is going to let that sit there for very long without taking it

Oh dear some people as so silly.
Where I do my supermarket shopping in Sydney and I see a person's purse/handbag sitting on the trolley I advise them to keep a close eye on the purse or it could be shoplifted when they turn away from their trolley.
Sometimes they thank me, sometimes they don't.
