Man Returns Purse Stuffed With $1M In Jewelry

wcbstv.com - Man Returns Purse Stuffed With $1M In Jewelry:

Modern day good Samaritan.

"(AP) SAN FRANCISCO John Suhrhoff found a Louis Vuitton bag on a Sausalito park bench.

Inside, police say, were a 12-carat diamond ring, pearl and emerald jewelry, a Cartier watch, and roughly $500 in cash. The contents were worth $1 million.

But the respiratory therapist didn't think of heading to a pawn shop -- he took the bag to police Monday afternoon.

The bag is now en route to a Toronto family who had been in northern California for a wedding.

'Every person I know or associate with would have done the same thing,' Suhrhoff, 56, said Tuesday. 'I'm glad to be able to help.'
