London Mayoral Candidate Susan Hall gets wallet returned after she left it on a tube seat (x.com)

But not before shes been on every news outlet she can find to claim she was pickpocketed. Rather than say thank you to a stranger.

As if you need any more proof shes a fucking idiot, leaving your wallet on the tube is something many people can sympathise with. Everyone feels like an idiot sometimes, but some just have to blame the enemy inside their own head.

Why do the Conservatives keep inflicting their most stupid people on the population of the capital? No serious candidate in over ten years, and you could argue Boris wasnt a serious candidate too.

I just heard this story on LBC. The way James O'Brien built it up, I was expecting a terrible heart wrenching story.

She's trying to have a go at the mayor of London because her oyster card fell out of her pocket. FFS!

there used to be a big office at baker street with all the lost property. they had all sorts of stuff in there, medical students in euston used to steal body parts and leave them as pranks. Theres probably a few films on it.

The upside to this story is ive been reminded of the existence of lost property rooms. Perhaps the Tory central office has been looking for a failed experiment called susan hall in the wrong places and shes been running about on the tube all along. By the time they arrive shes run away because of all the black people in her head trying to nick her oyster card

They’ve moved to West Ham now (and had a temporary office in South Kensington)

AFAIK it’s pretty much the same - and in fact they moved because they ran out of space in the older locations! They have to keep stuff for some minimum amount of time I think.

And the best advice I can give anyone on this: write down your phone’s IMEI, it makes identifying it much easier.
