This is something that happened to me 5 years ago, I was 18 and at
school. So here goes

Yesterday, I had gone to the rest room and realized something different
when I left, actually, I was at the library when it hit me. I brought a
Coach purse with me to school. I received it as a graduation present. It
was small, and it had a metal lock you turn on the top to open and close it.
Its contents wasn't that much, just a 10 dollar bill, a change purse that
said TD bank on it, and inside that little coin purse was a quarter. When I
got to the library, I realized the purse was missing. I immediately went to
the restroom to check to see if it was still there. I had to retrace my
steps, and I knew it was in the restroom. I checked the restroom, and it
was gone. My first thought was that someone stole it. I had forgotten
about it for the rest of the day, trying to let it go. I was very upset. I
went to bed, hoping tomorrow would be better.

The next day, I woke up and looked at the clock. It was 7:00. I had to
be ready 20 minutes ago for my transportation. I should have been up an
hour ago. I had an assignment to print and I had to get ready. I flew out
of bed and threw clothes on as fast as I possibly could. I called my ride
status and they said the driver was outside waiting. With that I rushed to
get ready and hurried out the door. My brother saw my transportation
outside, and he was unaware of what had happened.

Before going to my afternoon class, I used the restroom, the same one I
used yesterday. I got to class and made yet another discovery. I brought
another purse with me today, and it was missing. This time, however, my
cell phone was in it. I asked the professor if I could go look for my purse
because I think I left it in the bathroom. She said okay as if she was
unsure. She asked another girl to go as it would have been easier. She
returned, and she said there was a purse there, but they couldn't just give
it to her because she couldn't just identify herself as me which is totally
understandable. Halfway through class, we heard a tap on the door, and
an administrator walked in and gave me a piece of paper. At that point the
professor stopped the class. She read the paper and it said to call my
grandfather after I got my cell phone back. I told her I didn't know where
the office was that it got turned into. She said she would go with me after
class, and then she went on teaching. I did however call campus security
that morning about my missing Coach purse. I left my number with them
and asked them to call me back if they found it. They said they would,
and I felt vulnerable not having my phone on me in case I were to miss a
call from them.

After class, I went to the office with my professor and I found out what
happened, and it was a mess. Noting terrible, per say, but a lot of people
got involved. A woman working in the office found the purse. She found
the cell phone in it. She turned it on and looked through the contacts to
find Mom, Dad, etc. She called my parents. My mom was on vacation,
and her voice mailbox was full. My dad picked up his phone, and of course
he thought it was me. When someone else had my phone and was calling
from school, his heart sank, thinking something bad happened to me. He
called my brother and told him what happened. My grandfather was
staying with us, so he told my brother to call my grandfather. My brother
told him what happened, and my grandfather asked my brother to get him
the number for the school. My brother got the number and called him
back. My grandpa called, and he said the woman helping was very helpful.
She looked up my schedule, and that was when I was given directions to
call my grandfather. I told my teacher I was upset that someone was
going through my phone, but she reassured me that it was for identifying
the phone and nothing else. She explained that's how they identify the
phones. Then I knew they weren't doing it to invade my privacy and read
my text messages. My dad called me that evening, and he told me what
happened, and my grandfather also told me the story. I didn't know this
whole thing started until I got my phone back. My dad told me to be more
careful with my stuff. When my grandfather went home the next day, he
asked me if I had my cell phone. I laughed and said yes! I had everyone
involved with that, and it was crazy. Also, when I was in the office
getting my things, I asked about the Coach purse, and they had that too.
I was ecstatic. Someone turned my stuff in, and it made me feel very
good to know my stuff wasn't stolen. There are honest people in this
world, and that is very important to know.
