No good deed goes unpunished

Now if you'd taken it to her house she might have been /really/ grateful

Yes, but that ONLY shows the face.

Oh, you're so shallow :-P

I found a wallet wit 50 quid in it under te grandstands at Silverstone.

Handed it in to the fuzz. a week later I got a letter of thanks and 50 quid. The guy was so amazed that anyone would bother.

The next day I found a 20 quid note in that grandstand. But there was no address on it so I kept it.

My Mum was obsessive with handing in stuff we found, watches, =A310 notes= (a week's wages in those days), handbags, down to 10/- notes. She stopped = it after she handed in a watch, and the PC on the desk commented that it wa= s working. She went back to collect it after 3 months and it had been stole= n from the station safe ( although they made some feeble excuse as to why t= hey didn't have it).

The Abergele knick did the same on me. I took in a watch around Xmas time and got the impression they had all been drinking.

I got an odd sheet of paper not the usual duplicate from the report book.

Then I told someone who had lost a watch what I did and they went to the cop shop: "What watch?"

Made me feel like I was a suspect. Don't ever trust a copper.

Reminds me of a friend on jury duty many years ago. Got roped in to a drugs case which was expected to last a week. It collapsed on the second day, because no one could find the drugs which had been confiscated to use as evidence. He overheard one of the lawyers afterwards saying that this was most unusual - usually only half the evidence goes missing, on the basis that no druggie stands up in court and says "but I had twice that much on me!".

BOBFOC?

Apparently her cleavage was not.

No idea. I did not see her. She probably wears a lot of slap and false tan. Not my type.

One apprentice said she looked like something from "Snog Marry Avoid?"
