As I had mentioned earlier, my purse was stolen this weekend. It was such an unfortunate experience that was incredibly disheartening. It was taken out of Ace late on Saturday night- the biggest downer of the whole thing was that it ruined our first night out! I of course immediately canceled all of my cards and thanked the lord that my passport wasn't stolen. (Unfortunately Kyle's camera is forever gone but I will try to stay on top of documenting the rest of the trip with mine)
However, this horrible story has a happy ending. Today we were reminded of the goodness that lies in the general public. Some incredible soul found my beloved Kate floating in the river. They not only fished her out of the water but went through the impossible task of tracking me down! They found all of my cards, ID's, and other wallet clutter. I had a bank card for a NZ bank that they brought my entire bag to. The bank tracked down my employer through my account. Drylands then contacted my landlord who left a note for me and went all the way into town to pick up my bag for me! Needless to say, it took a lot of good people to get my bag back to me and I am eternally grateful.
It only takes one bad person to spoil the whole bunch. We are choosing to focus on all the amazing Kiwis who worked to get Kate back to me instead of the one punk who took her in the first place. The world is full of amazing people!
