Brown bag/trousers....

So I have a brown leather man-bag I take to work on my scooter (they're both cool so shut it), there's a little parcel shelf fold-down thingy on the back that I put my bag on, wrapping the strap around several times before tying it in a knot.

Unfortunately when I arrived at work this morning I discovered my knot tying was less that satisfactory and the bag had disapearred! Now, apart from being quite attached to this bag, it also had: wallet, house keys, ipod, Shure headphones, usb key, work Blackberry and just to top it off, some insurance documents with my address printed all over them. Cue me bricking it and speeding off desperately back tracking my route hoping it would still be somewhere in the road, whilst occasionally stopping to call the Blackberry (my personal phone was safely in my pocket). I got back to my flat fearing the worst and called my work phone one last time and....

....Someone answered! Some guy had picked it up on his way home from the job centre and waited for the phone to ring. He gave me his address and was a really nice bloke, he explained he was out of work after losing his job when he got breathalised 'the morning after'. I was so happy I got him to take me to the nearest cash machine and gave him £50, he said someone had done the same for him once so wanted to help out. Karma eh?
