I know what its like to be without all that crap. I guess I'll call tomorrow before I leave to work to let her know I have it. And if she wants to drive up there (without keys or a licenses) to pick it up, or we can meet somewhere to exchange...

Sound good? What should I say? Should I let her know there was no cash when I found it? Or the story about how I found it?

"I have your purse, what do you want to do about getting it back to you?"

No scanner or digital camara...

EDIT: And shes a minor, which eliminates 90% of you anyway. Plus, it'd be pretty immoral to scan someones picture I don't know.

Nuh uh. She can have sex with anyone 24 or under in Florida.

I'd mail it to her anonymously, that way she gets it and doesn't think you stole any money from it.

Why do you have to even ask this? Just call her up and say Can I speak to "whatever her name is". When they say sure who's calling say your name and explain what happened. I'm sure the rest will come naturally. Just think you will actually get to talk to a real live girl!

i'd turn it into the police. if that isn't viable then just contact her straight away.

I wrote a page long "thing" about it here? Where?

I know if I lost my wallet, I'd be screwed. I was just asking from those who might have found one before, whats the best way about returning it.

I have never found a purse/wallet before. You don't need to be be an ass about it.

Any idea how I should go about giving it to this girl? My best idea was to give the house a call, and let her know I have her purse, and work out a way to get it to her.

That was the idea I came up with in the first place smartass.

EDIT: Was curious to other peoples opinions on the matter as well...

call her ASAP. you'll save her the trouble of getting new id and credit cards, if she hasn't cancelled them already.

do you even have to ask?!

police : NO?!! why would the police want it?
lost and found : could work. but then you get no chance to be hero
call her: GOOD CALL GENIUS.

this is how its going to play out. you give back the purse. she hugs you. you ask her to grab something to eat. she thinks of you as her hero, and says yes.

p.s. steal some of her money, and pay for the date with it. ;)

good luck.

This same type thread was posted about six months ago or less :) Maybe it's the same girl hoping another idiot doesn't call her ex boyfriend to have him pick it up to return. Could be her way to score some action. When you return it, put a condom inside with your number on it ;) heh
