Found Luis Vuiton Purse

[neilson99]

Saw a chap on the 363 bus hand in a Luis Vuiton purse today. It was a Go Ahead London Central bus reg V128 LGC I think. Just posting if anyone is looking for it and the driver, ahem, "forgets" to hand it in...

That's cynical neilson - I have left a suitcase full of expensive stuff on a 63 before now and it was all still there when I went to collect it. The driver seemed to have no problem handing it in...

Different driver maybe Rosie. Anyway, you can't attribute high morals to them all just because your suitcase looked like it probably did not have anything valuable in it....

Cheeky Mick, cheeky.

But seriously, I do think it's cynical. Why in case the bus driver "forgets" to hand it in, rather than in case anyone was wondering where they'd lost it? If the passenger managed to hand it in without stealing it, why wouldn't the driver?

Maybe I'm utterly naive...

Also, many many years ago the BBC got researchers to hand in "lost" purses and wallets at various bus/train stations. Subsequently, a second lot of researchers were dispatched to then claim the "lost" property. Result? About two-thirds of researchers were told that nothing had been handed in! This makes neilson99's (thoughtful) decision to post here appropriate. Sadly it also indicates the sort of world we live in nowadays.

Cynical? Moi? Songs of Innocence and Experience.

Hopefully the driver did the decent thing. Irrespective of that, there maybe a purse-less young (or old or middle aged, I've clearly already generalised too much here tonight already) who is wondering where she (or perhaps he even) might have mislaid it, which was really the point of my post...
