This is NYC. I’m pleasantly surprised that the school principal didn’t keep it for herself.
LOL!
A few years ago I found a velvet bag filled with some very beautiful and very expensive jewelry at the Ritz Carlton in Boston and took it immediately to the front desk. Two days later I called to see if it was claimed and they had no record of it being turned in. Their security department later called me to determine the exact time and date I turned it in. The gal at the front desk must have pocketed it.
Next time, I'll know better and will leave my telephone number. That way I'll be sure the rightful owner gets their jewelry back.
