When we rented a one-bedroomed studio holiday apartment in Paris, we didn’t expect that it would be open to other visitors day and night, and completely insecure.

The thief who stole my iwatch cleverly replaced it with another watch of the same size with an almost identical black face. This meant that I didn’t immediately notice the switch. When I did, I was distraught.

I was therefore extremely relieved when a woman revealed to me that she had found my iwatch in her locked locker.

The stranger handed over the iwatch, turned on her heel, and disappeared down the street into the tourist crowds. She moved so quickly that we missed the opportunity to question her about her discovery of stolen goods.
