was packed. When the bus reached my

through the standees with the handbag on
my shoulder and a few files in my arms.
I was pushed along till I reached the
footboard and managed to get down just
as the driver drove off. It was only then I
real sed that my handbag was missing.

receipts. The compartment on the other
side contains a Revlon Burgundy red
