The Editor:

I am simply writing to say an enormous "Thanks" to the kind individual(s) who rescued my blue laptop in a black carry bag on the 102 Community Bus from Victoria Hill to New West Station last Saturday afternoon, Nov. 4.

I noticed it was missing only later in the evening, and what a shock that was.

How incredibly fortunate I am that some kind soul(s) turned it in to Transit Security.

After I reached out to TransLink Customer Service, I was quickly reunited with it the next night, Nov. 5.

A huge relief! 

I am so very grateful to all who participated in its return to me.

Jovan at TransLink Customer Service; Janet, Transit Supervisor; and the driver of the 102 route, plus any passengers who may have noticed the laptop I'd left on the bus and turned it in.

Much warm appreciation, and wishing you all good things in turn.
