    Great story pardes. Geez, if I can tell the stories of the things that I "lost" /forgot and returned by a perfect stranger.

    I have several up my sleeve..but here's 1:

    I left my SLR Nikon camera on the subway train. As soon as I stepped off the train and the train doors closed behind me, I realized I left my camera behind. Thankfully the lost and found was 2 subway stops later. So I jumped back and headed there.

    And there was a lady heading into the lost and found office...with my camera.

    Yay Pardes! The older gent had his dignity restored, got to help a young lady (younger than him, therefore qualifying as a young lady) and everyone's day improved.

    It is something we all should remember from time to time. OK, I should remember. Sometimes patience is not one of my virtues.

    I would have had a major adrenaline surge on seeing those doors close with my camera on the other side. Did you get to talk to the woman?

    Unfortunately no I didn't get a chance to talk to her.
