Subject: RE: BS: what did ya do today?
I am feeling realy smug with myself.
On Monday as I was driving rom Blairgowrie (Perthshire) to Edinburgh we picked up two hitch hikers. They were showing a card "Edinburgh" So I thiught easy that going to the Festival jump in. However they were actualy going to Newcastle to fly back to Prague on Wednesday. Well that was about all the info we got out of them other than they had spent the summer fruit picking to earn some money.
We dropped them off at the A1 the road to ewcastle and headed into the city where we spent 5 hours of fun watching the street theatre on the Royal Mile.
When we got back to the car and drove of my wife notice something on the back seat, it was a small bag! It was not ours. Inside it was

a mobile phone,
some Chezck money 150+ krona
various cards library, insurance contact etc.
A passport
£890.00 in notes
about £5.31 in coin
what looked like a diamond engagement ring
oh yes and a rather nasty looking knife.
Needless to say we pawned the ring and the phone and spent the lot on a really good night out!

No we didnt we returned it to the police who believe they can get it back to them.
