I got a late Christmas present today.
I had left my backpack on a bus on Saturday night. It had my sound canceling headphones and digital camera, etc. in it and everything. I had put it between my feet while riding and forgotten to pick it up as I left. I didn't realize until hours later when we were ready to go home. It seemed very unlikely that I would ever see any of the contents or the nice MEC knapsack itself ever again.
Today when the Lost Articles office for the TTC opened I was there asking for my bag. They said there was a bag coming in later in the afternoon and that I should call to check. I called and it sounded like they had my bag.
I raced down to see it and, glory be, it was mine! And, bonus, amazing, startling: everything was still inside!
Apparently the bus driver had found it; probably at the end of the route. Who knows how many people would have seen it or sat next to it until he spotted it. Truly amazing.
I am very thankful for the bus driver finding it and everyone else for respecting a strangers property! Toronto rules! I'm sure I used up a lot of Karma points with this little stunt, heh.
Have a happy new year!
