FOUND-items belonging to a lady in Hertford
On our way into town today we found some items belonging to a lady from the area strewn across the pavement and road on the Stansted rd hill. The lady is Ethel Morgan and i guess is in her 60's? If this is your friend, neighbour please let me know so i can return the items. If not i will hand them in at Hertford Police Station. There is a photograph on one item so would obviously only be returned to their rightful owner.

I would strongly suggest that you take all of the things that you have found to a police station and Hertford police station is only open today until 2.00pm. [:(]
Failing that, Hoddesdon cop-shop is open tomorrow from 10.00am until 6.00pm. [:)]

I think James is right.
I know a lady of that name but would not be prepared to pass on any details.

All items were handed in today at Hertford police station first thing this morning after an hour wait with my two children in tow!

I don't suppose i will ever know if she gets the items back but hopefully she would think to stop into the station to check. I wanted to take them straight there yesterday but we were on route to Hartham via the meads to meet friends for a day out with the children, thought i might at least see one policeman/pcso over Hartham being how busy it was, but not at all.

Exactly kkey, I think James is being a bit optimistic thinking the police phone round everyone who's handed in lost property with the outcome. TBH the police were so useless when I found someone's belongings I just got on with finding the person myself, and succeeded!

Sarah: I never once said that I "was being a bit optimistic thinking the police phone round everyone who's handed in lost property with the outcome", so where you got to that conclusion from is not even up for debate.
Giving the items to the police is a logical, basic decision to make for me.
Optimism rules ok! [;)]

Hi,
Many thanks for taking my mothers bag to the police station.
We have contacted them to arrange collection.
Your kindness and help was most appreciated.
Regards,

I agree with James, the police are pretty good in Hertford. Last year my wife found a purse and we handed it in, they took our phone number and when they had reunited the purse with the owner they rang us to pass on the lady's thanks.

Yes, I got my mobile phone back when I dropped it in the car park and someone handed in to the police station and they rang me to say they had it.

Hi there Carol
I am so glad the items are being reunited but sorry to say there wasn't a bag [:(]
The items were scattered as if they had been possibly thrown from a passing car as some were on the pavement and some in the road behind the railings. It maybe worth a check in the wooded area if items are outstanding?
At least a few main items are going to be back with their owner. I really hope your Mum is alright and she lost the bag rather than the anything else.
A while ago me and my husband were at Van Hages and found a purse in our trolley which we handed in to a member of staff, i checked a week later and it had been collected but still to this day we wonder if it ever made it back to its owner really? There was a driving licence peaking from the top and we wished we had just returned it to the address for peace of mind.
