It was stolen.
:04:07
Tony and I were going to spend
the weekend in the country with friends.

:04:10
While waiting on the platform,
I noticed my handbag was missing.

:04:14
And the letter was inside.
:04:15
-Where was this?.
-Victoria Station.

:04:18
I thought I'd left it in the restaurant,
but when I went back, it had gone.

:04:21
You mean you never found it?.
:04:23
I recovered the handbag
about two weeks later...

:04:26
...from the lost and found,
but the letter wasn't there.

:04:30
Then about a week afterwards,
I received a note.

:04:33
It told me what I had to do
to get the letter back.

:04:36
Yes. Go ahead.
Go on.

:04:39
I was to draw £50
from my bank in £5 notes...

:04:43
...and then change them
for used £1 notes.

:04:46
It said that if I went to the police
or told anyone else...

:04:50
...he would show the letter
to my husband.

:04:52
You still have the note?.
:05:21
Printed, all capitals.
:05:23
-Anyone could've done this.
-Two days later...

:05:26
-...I got this one.
-Both mailed in Brixton.

:05:34
"Throw half the money in a package
and mail to John S. King.

:05:36
23 Newport Street,
Brixton SW9.

:05:38
You'll get your letter by return."
:05:40
It's a little shop.
People use it as a forwarding address.

:05:43
You didn't mail the money.
:05:45
Yes, but the letter was never returned.
:05:47
So after waiting about
two weeks, I went there.

:05:50
Said they had never heard
of a man by that name.

:05:52
The parcel was still there.
It had never been opened.

:05:55
That's something, I suppose.
May I keep these?.

:05:57
-Yes, if you like.
-I can't understand why you didn't tell me.
