AN elderly woman who lost her pension while getting on a bus is appealing for the finder to return it.
Joyce Portersfield, 79, of Staindrop Road, Darlington, dropped £100 from her handbag while getting her bus fare.
She lost the money at noon last Thursday, August 5, at the bus shelter outside Cockerton Club, in Darlington.
Three weeks ago, Mrs Portersfield was robbed of £40 in Skinnergate, in Darlington town centre.
She said: "I seem to be having a run of bad luck at the minute. I am having to scrimp and save a bit."
The police have been told about the lost money, but Mrs Portersfield said she did not hold out much hope of getting it back unless someone came forward.
She can be contact on (01325) 469093.
