30、hi nk that was very incon siderate of you. Imea n, how would you like something like that to happen to you?Well, perhaps the bag will turn up. It wasn' t even an expensive one, just a pla in, old brow n leathershoulder bag. You probably dumped it in the n earest rubbish bin or threw it in to the
