Her coworkers guessed it might be a wrist rest, bra insert, or foot pad. After searching online without finding a convincing answer, she took it to a designer-shoe repair boutique, where the owner identified it as a custom insert made for expensive high heels.
The owner explained that these inserts were specially made for individuals and always came in pairs. Searching the handbag again, the woman found a mysterious note saying, “Meet me where we last stood. Bring the other one.”
Days later, she noticed a missing-person poster for a woman whose handbag had accidentally been donated. After discovering initials on the insert that matched the missing woman, she became frightened and returned the bag to the thrift store, where it mysteriously disappeared by the next morning.
