By Proxy
One fine morning a couple of months ago I set off for work. When I opened my front door there was a nicely folded jacket on my doorstep with a pair of smart shoes on top. To the side of my path there was an emtpy pizza box and a wallet. To top it off there was a bunch of keys (with an Audi car key) hanging from the outside of my door as the yale key was jammed in my lock.

It completely threw me and I stood staring at this tidy little collection in bemusement for good couple of minutes. I walked around the house, checked the bushes and after extracting the keys from the door, tried the remote on the car key to see if it belonged to any of the cars on the road. Nothing.

I have no idea why someone would sleep on my doorstep and then shamble off in the early hours leaving all their stuff behind, but it tickles me to think that this little tale might be the other half of one of the others posted here.

BTW, I was a good citizen, I didn't even open the wallet, I took it and the keys to the Police. I left the jacket, shoes and pizza box where I found them. They were gone when I got home.

but..
if you'd have opened the wallet, you would have been able to find out who the stuff belonged to?

I never open found wallets or purses
I found a purse in the changing rooms at Butlins and opened it to see if I could find out who it belonged to, just as the owner came looking for it. Someone had already lifted the contents, but the as I was caught with my nose in it, I got filthy looks from the owner all weekend.

Now I just hand them in without opening. Safer that way.
