A purse containing a million dollars worth of jewelry was on its way back to its owner in Canada after
being forgotten on a bench in a town near San Francisco, police said.
Shahla Ghannadian had entrusted(委托) her 2,000-dollar Louis Vuitton handbag and its precious
contents to her husband after they stopped at an ice cream shop in the city of Sausalito on Sunday,
according to authorities. He left it on a bench near a downtown parking lot, and the oversight was not
noticed until the couple was back at their hotel, said Sausalito police sergeant (警官) Kurtis Skoog. The
couple had traveled from Toronto to San Francisco for a daughter's wedding.
The purse contained a Cartier watch, cash, and jewelry worn by the mother and the bride at the
ceremony, said Skoog. The gems included emeralds, pearls and diamonds, one of them a 12-karat stone, according to police. Ghannadian and her husband had been squeezing in a bit of sightseeing before
catching a flight back to Canada on Sunday night. Family members checked the bench, but the purse
was gone.
Local resident John Suhroff walked into the police department the next day with the bag, its contents
intact(完整无缺的), Skoog said. Suhroff handed the bag to a clerk, saying it held "either costume or
junk jewelry".
"We called the owner, and they were ecstatic (狂喜的)," said Skoog. A family friend picked up the
bag and was to take it to Ghannadian. The family indicated Suhroff is in line for a reward, but did not
specify an amount, Skoog said.
