nice ending to this story, amateur\_barbarian … and thanks for sharing. now, make sure the woman replaces the iphone as well as the password and phone#. and she needs to proactively check her credit-history … every three to six months for the next five years. sometimes it’s the personal info that is more valuable to a thief than, say, money or fancy purse. ---

Well, now her flight home was cancelled, turning home-by-dinner into a long, long evening of driving to Boston, then Hartford (car) and back to home… :smack: ---

News media report bad stuff. Woman loses purse/handbag; item is handed in and returned, rarely gets a mention. My wife put her handbag on the roof of her car as she got in and drove off with it still there. Before she got home, a lady knocked on our door; she had opened the bag, found the address in a diary and returned it before my wife knew it was missing. I sent the story to our local paper but they never published it. ---
