I WISH to thank you, on behalf of our friends in Sydney, Australia, for publishing their letter headline ‘Good example of community spirit’ which appeared in The Press of January 15.

The family, based in East Yorkshire and Australia, were absolutely delighted that you published the letter about what happened when a wallet with all their cash/cards etc went missing.

It just goes to show that you shouldn’t always fear the worst of people if this sort of thing happens.

Sue Birch, Nun Monkton, York.
