You may recall that on our last day in London, Paul and I had our passports stolen. We told you then of the miracle replacement with emergency passports that enabled us to leave the UK that night, barely 8 hours after the theft.
Our continued thanks to the staff at Australia House in London and our continued sadness about the fate of the young man involved.
Well; our emergency passports had to be renewed within 12 months or we'd be charged once more.
So one sunny week in September, both Paul and I went through the rigmarole to get these replaced.
In the same week, we received an email reporting that our passports had been 'handed in' to Australia House and that they needed to be collected within 3 weeks.
As much as I tried to convince Paul that we should fly back to England, he insisted on requesting their despatch via airmail back to us.
I am very happy and amazed to say that we now have our stolen passports back with us. They live very comfortably with our new and shiny ones.
Who knows who handed them in? The repentant thief, the constabulary, 007 or Columbian Airlines.
I'm tipping James B, myself. ;-)
