Losing a purse with cash, house keys and an expensive gadget can be a stressful experience, especially when it contains belongings worth around Rs 1 lakh. But for an Indian woman in Japan, the situation took an emotional turn when she discovered that a stranger had already handed her purse over to the police with everything still inside.

Sonam Midha shared the incident in a video on Instagram. She recounted how she feared losing belongings worth approximately Rs 1 lakh after leaving her purse behind on a rented bicycle.

About an hour later, upon leaving the restaurant, she remembered her purse. She went back to search for it on the bicycle and in the surrounding area, but it was nowhere to be found.

She mentioned that the purse contained a recently purchased DJI microphone, cash, and house keys. Unable to find the purse, she decided to go to the police station to file a report.

Upon arriving at the station and describing the contents of the purse, an officer informed her that someone had returned a similar purse just a short while earlier.

As soon as she saw the purse, Midha recognised it as her own. A stranger had handed it over to the police, and all the items inside were safe.

Moved by the incident, Midha praised the kindness of the people there, remarking that humanity still exists. She also expressed her gratitude to Japan.
