Dear Editor:
I write to share an impressive act of honesty, of which I was the beneficiary.
Recently, I went for a walk on the seawall in West Vancouver. It was a wonderful sunny afternoon.
I decided to rest on a bench, taking in the view and my beautiful surroundings. I removed my handbag and put it on the bench. After the rest, I continued with my walk for another half hour before I realized I did not have my handbag.
I rushed home in a horrible panic, thinking of all the steps I should take such as calling the police and cancelling my credit cards. When I got home, my husband let me know that a family had just dropped off my bag, with all contents intact.
The daughter of the family had left her email behind.
I sent a thank you email to her, requesting to provide a small thank you gift. Her response was that saving me from worry over the lost bag was her true reward.
I would like to publicly thank the Ansari family for their integrity. I am so grateful for their kindness.
Sholeh Ojagh
