It could have been a very costly trip to Safeway. A woman shopping at the store on El Camino Real around 5 p.m. on July 25 loaded her groceries into the car, but drove home without realizing she'd left her purse behind in the cart.

Upon returning to Safeway, she discovered someone had given her purse to a store manager.

"Nothing had been taken, and I shall remember this act of honesty forever and happily relate it to my friends and children," she said in an email.

She wanted to thank the Good Samaritan, but asked that the Almanac not print her name.
