‘Very grateful:’ Driver returns birthday cash to woman who left purse on train
CALGARY — A woman who left behind a purse with $1,300 in birthday cash on a light-rail transit train says she can barely believe someone was honest enough to return it.
Li Feng Yang had just received the money for her 75th birthday and was planning to deposit it in the bank. She was taking the train to see her doctor last week when she dropped the bag on the seat beside her.
Yang realized she’d forgotten it immediately after she got off the train in downtown Calgary and the doors closed.
“A rush of burning anxiety immediately came in,” she said in a statement translated by her grandson, Kai Huang.
