SIR,

We often hear of kind people who help their fellows when they are in trouble or find something and return it to the owner. However, there are other types too.

On the afternoon of 1st May a friend had been shopping in Lidl and came out into a rain storm.

While loading her shopping into her car she must have dropped her purse. The lady has a husband who is unable to work and the purse contained their savings for a Bank Holiday break (over £400).

On arriving home she realised what had happened and quickly returned to the car park, but the purse had gone.

The purse also contained a card with her name and telephone number.

(Name and address supplied)
