My (very small) good deed for the day

I have left my magnifying mirror ( not cheap) which I bought from John Lewis, in various hotels on my travels and usually got it back, But not at one. I knew I had left it in the room and I phoned and went back....but no, they denied all knowledge of it. Swines.
My daughter left her diamond earrings in a hotel in London. She was there changing for a wedding. The next day after staying the night she realised she had left them. She phoned the hotel and notified the hotel. No sign of them according the the hotel. Amazingly the Police went round and the hotel came up with them. We were all astonished.
I left a beautiful necklace in a hotel in Northumberland and it was stolen. I try to check thoroughly before we leave now.

You definitely did the right thing. Twice I've lost a bag at a supermarket and both times they were handed in at Customer Services so I'm very grateful to the honest people out there.
Recently I've lost a bag between the stairs and where else? No sign of the damn thing anywhere - it's bright blue and orange floral so again, difficult to miss. Maybe I'm going completely batty and should book myself into a home for the bewildered.

At the supermarket where I work...it wont print a receipt out until you have taken your card out of the machine at the checkout. Its also tells me on my till window to "please remove card" then it will print receipt.

GREY DUSTER. ...I too left my handbag on a trolly. When I went to CS"S it had been handed in, only about 5 minutes before.

So I got a description....a tall black lady....and searched the large store but could not find her.

I so wanted to hug and thank her,
but couldn't.
I just hoped she had a good turn done for her.

SO there are kind honest and decent folk around....SO why do we just hear about the bad folk all the b%%%%y time.

It makes me Mad at times !!

I would have taken it into the shop. I remember when my children were small and I wasn't feeling very well but had to go shopping, I left my handbag hanging on the trolley. Somebody very kindly handed it in. I was so grateful that I asked for their details and took a small gift to show my very grateful appreciation.

I left my purse in the reception area of my children's school a few years ago. I never got it back. Normally it would have had a fiver at most in it but that day I was on my way to the bank to pay in the money I'd been saving all year to take the children to the seaside for a week - £245!! I was devastated! And so upset that someone could be that dishonest, worse that it was probably someone I knew. I just hope it helped them out rather than being pure theft.

I found a wallet in a supermarket walkway hobbled (waiting for knee replacement op) after a store assistant and asked him to ask a man walking away (only one in sight) if it was his. It wasn't so I looked inside to see if there was any ID and to my horror saw a police warrant card. I know from friends in the force it's a serious/disciplinary (?) matter if they lose it so went to the customer service desk and asked them to tannoy his name only. Couldnt wait , so I left it there but rang 101 and left a message for the officer to call me urgently on a sensitive matter. I got a call from his colleague asking me what it was about, I said had he been in the vicinity of xxx? Aa short time later had a very grateful senior officer ring and thank me. He was unloading a week's shopping and it had got dislodged. he said he was frantically searching outside the shop but had come in just as he heard his name. I hadn't left my details so he couldn't thank me but confirmed he would have been in trouble especially due to his seniority if it had got lost or worse been found by someone with bad intentions. Fair made my day though DH bemused by my concern (keeps saying why do I have to fix the world and smile an talk to everybody I don't know..) . I ALWAYS hand stuff in - and though rarely give money, do buy Big Issue or a hot drink and food for someone begging in the street if they look as if they need it. Doesn't cost much to pass on a bit of kindness especially as 'there but for the grace of God go I....

I once left a Boots Carrier bag of expensive beauty products at a bus stop??‍♀️ The products came to around £50 and this was about 10 years ago? I had 3 teenage daughters at the time. I went straight back but it was gone and no one had handed it in so that was a nightmare as it all had to be bought again?

Oh jenpax, that is really galling. Interesting to read all the other replies too, especially peaches50 's story concerning the police warrant.
I have just phoned the store and was told that the bag and contents have been claimed, which I'm pleased about.

Oh yes hand stuff in-you'd want your stuff handing in wouldn't you? But if you can't trust the Police with it or CS. . . . Whenever I do a kindness and folks say thanks I always tell them it's called a random act of kindness and will they please pass it on?
