 Posted: 03/29/06 - 23:40 Post subject: Man returns purse containing $1 million in jewels, cash.

Shahla Ghannadian cried Sunday for most of the flight home to Toronto. Hours earlier, while sightseeing in Sausalito, her husband lost her Louis Vuitton purse.
But it wasn't just any Louis Vuitton purse. This one contained jewelry worth more than $1 million.
Ghannadian held out hope, but knew the chances of recovering the valuables were slim.
So the phone call from Sausalito police on Monday came as a shocker. San Rafael resident John Suhrhoff had found the purse and turned it over to police with all its contents -- including a Cartier watch, diamond and ruby rings, pearl earrings, necklaces with large diamond stones, and $500 in cash.
"My mom started to cry again and my dad became very emotional, too," Ghannadian's 28-year-old son, Ali Khalili, said of the phone call. "That was a big deal. There are still good people in this world."
Ghannadian had left her husband in charge of the purse for a just few minutes while sightseeing in Sausalito, and he must have forgotten it on a park bench, Ali Khalili said.
Ghannadian realized the purse was missing as the family was at their San Francisco hotel room, preparing to leave for the airport. They rushed back to Sausalito but could not find the purse.
Sausalito police said Suhrhoff found the purse Sunday on a park bench behind a bank on Bridgeway Street.
Suhrhoff took the purse to Sausalito police Monday and asked nothing in return, according to police Sgt. Kurtis Skoog.
"He left his name and address, but not to get a reward," Skoog said. "He said, 'If they want to thank me, here's my information.' ''
Suhrhoff, a 56-year-old respiratory therapist, told the Associated Press he found the purse during a lunch break while hiking.

So the question is, if you found it what would you do?

Keep it. No Question.
I'd send the personal shit back to whomever like credit cards and liceses and shit like that. I have no use for it. Other peoples' money and jewelry I do have a use for, however.

1) They dont' give a shit about the purse
2) Returning it will get you arrested.
If you're gonna steal, steal it all. You're gonna get caught anyway when you try to pawn a $400k string of pearls and a real cartier watch for $50.
I hope they gave that guy something nice. Like a new house. Not one in Sausalito tho cause that would be more than the 1 mil he returned :p.

I take back what I said earlier. I would take a huge shit in it, leave any spare change I had on me at the bottom of the purse, and then go home and masturbate.

Ling-ling finds a wallet on the ground. She keeps the money but returns the wallet. Which emotion does this represent, Fear or Love?

Well you asked what kind so I had to point it out. Sometimes you have to post signs for stupid people, ie No trespassing , keep out, No Smoking etc They are laws of consequence.
My sign says "Gethy I can kick your ass"
Youve been leaning towards consequence so I had to point that out.

Actually- I'll change the first thing that id do with finding all that loot.
1) Id buy some air time on television. Id fly Gethy out on my dollar and cent so he can get whooped and thumped UFC style.
2) Then id eat my sandwich.

I would feel guilty for a period of time, but I would fight that feeling. That guilty feeling is actually weakness.
Then I would get to work makn some calls and takn that shit apart with my needle nose pliers.
