"Local man Conor had been out shopping for Christmas presents for his family in the early hours of Christmas Eve when he loaded a taxi full of his bags. However, in a brief moment of forgetfulness, Conor exited the taxi without taking the presents with him, only realising his error as the vehicle drove away. To make matters worse, the driver who brought him home was now finished for the night and would not notice the bag full of Conor's purchases until the next morning when he awoke for his shift. Thankfully, there was enough Christmas cheer in the air for the driver to decide to bring the gifts to Store Street Garda station in the hope Gardaí could trace the owner."
"Lucky for Conor, Garda James was on the case. Conor too had gone to a Garda Station to report his lost property. Garda James began trawling through all the reported lost property incidents in Dublin to find a possible match for the presents in the bags. He found Conor in just a few minutes. Garda James called Conor up to get confirmation that the bags he had were the same that had gone missing. A couple of hours later, and just in time for Christmas, Conor had gotten all of his family's presents back, just as he had left them."
