[Found] Purse Lost on the Avenue!
A purse was lost in Phillipsville area today.
Single mom, Anni Billingsley was taking her kids into Garberville when she lost it. “[W]ith all the excitement of getting the kids and the dog in the car, I must have had a half-brained moment and left my purse on the trunk of the car, and without realizing it, drove off down the Avenue towards Garberville,” Anni Billingsley explained.
After she discovered it was gone, she went to the Phillipsville market and asked if anyone had turned in a purse but no one had. “[T]hen the kids and I drove down the Avenue hoping that we could find it. All I found was my deodorant …about half a mile to a mile south of the Deerhorn market, but that was it.”
Billingsley thinks her purse fell off the trunk. She believes, “[W]hen it did my deodorant fell out and someone driving by must have saw it on the side of the road and picked it up.”
“It had everything I had in it,” she said. “My driver’s license, mine and the kid’s social security cards, debit cards, other cards of value, including my child support card for my son and a gas card, etc… it was a navy blue “the Sak” purse And the wallet is a darker green Coach wallet that my little boy got me for my birthday years ago that has great sentimental value, as well as the contents monetary value.”
UPDATE Wednesday: A good Samaritan had turned the purse into the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office. Billingsley has her purse back!

Sorry that happened. Hopefully it will be returned to you soon. Not hard to get distracted. I’ve done the same.
Was it a Wisconsin I.D. ??? My friend found a purse there abouts..she was going to bring it to G-Ville substation. ..I’ll check with her tomm.and let you know.
Yes my brother in law Danny found it and it was turned in to the sheriff in garberville
Wahoo!
Been there,I didn’t get mine back.Your lucky day.Yay Humboldt people are the best!!
Heartwarming.
My pal found a wallet on the avenue earlier this year…from minnesota…did a facebook search, found the guy & mailed it back. Thank goodness for goodness
So glad this turned out well!
NOTE: Carrying around Social Security cards is a BAD idea. Memorize those numbers, and stash the cards. Children’s SS cards can be used for many, many nefarious purposes. Many. af
Good advice. Hope she hears it
I agree with you Anon. Who in there right mind carries around there SS cards??
Yay! Glad it was found!
Ruff out there being a stoner parent sometimes.
