I was working at a fast-food restaurant one day when I saw a woman had left her Louis Vuitton purse on a table. When I realized she wouldn’t be returning after twenty minutes of waiting, I made the decision to take the bag to the lost and found. I just put it there and resumed my work without taking a peek inside.The bag was still unclaimed after a month. In passing, my manager said, “Hey, it’s been a month…Would you like that bag? After giving it some thought,
I decided to go to the back and get it. When I eventually made the decision to open it, I was shocked to discover that it was completely empty save for one piece of paper.“To the girl who needed a new purse during the holidays” was written in hand on the paper, which was a receipt. Upon closer inspection of the receipt, I discovered that the bag had cost $1,700! It appeared that the woman, whoever she was, had planned this random act of kindness all along and had meant to leave this bag for someone in greater need.kept the discovery to myself as I carefully packed my belongings into the bag and headed home. That purse turned into more than just a stylish accessory; it gave me a slightly boost in confidence and made me appear more put together during job interviews.The bag is still with me today. It serves as a treasured reminder of my less fortunate days. More significantly, it motivates me to return the favor by helping others whenever I can.
