Returned my Purse

A few years ago I was doing some grocery shopping. The parking lot was freezing and all I could think about was getting in the car. I used the keys to turn the car on and started hustling cases of water, bags of dog food, and other plastic bags full of groceries in the car. Finally, mission accomplished. I jumped in my car and sped away. Then I realized my purse, wallet, phone, ID everything was still in the shopping cart in the parking lot. I knew it was all gone. I got home and called the grocery store anyway. I was shocked when the cashier told me someone had turned my purse in. I picked it up the next day and what do you know? The Cash and credit cards were all accounted for. I took a vow from that day on I would always return the favor. I still wish I could see the person who decided to do the right thing. To this day, I thank you.
