I WOULD like to thank the person who, on Saturday, at the Focus DIY Store at Middlebrook, handed in my mother's purse which she had dropped in the car park.

It was a short time later that we found she had lost her purse and we asked at each store if a purse had been handed in. I really was delighted to learn at Focus that someone had handed the purse in and everything was still inside the purse.

My mother is nearly 90 and you can imagine how upset she was -- but at the same time how grateful that there are still honest and caring people still around.

I have no idea who the person was, so through the paper I would like them to know just how grateful we are for their honesty.
