A WOMAN is appealing for a youngster who returned her purse after it was lost on a bus to claim a reward.
Dorothy Howe, of Hargreave Terrace, Darlington, was so impressed with the boy's honesty, she feels he deserves a proper thank-you.
She was on the service 23 bus, from Skerne Park to Whinbush, between 3pm and 3.30pm on Tuesday, when she lost her purse.
The youngster got on at Prebend Row and handed the purse to the driver, with all its contents still there.
Mrs Howe said: "I would like to get in contact with him, because there was a heck of a lot of money in it and for a young boy to hand it in is marvelous.
"I do think he deserves a reward."
The youngster is asked to get in touch on (01325) 350473
