As a fellow medic I aplaud your actions, toerags like that need sorting out 

If you're ever 'down sarf' drop me a PM and we can go for a beer and trade stories

How far south is Outer Mongolia exactly :question

Somewhere near Tidworth, I think 

Got your tickets for Status Quo??

dewar, your actions are to be applauded. Yep, your bag's gone and the attitude of the insurance company is disgraceful.

That said, your assistance to the injured party (any news on his condition?) demonstrates clearly that we, as humans are not as Pitchfork suggests, just another life form. You helped a fellow human despite the difficulties of the situation and may well have saved his life. The possessions you lost are merely that: transitory material possessions. In a month or two, that loss will be forgotten. Your humanity, however, cannot be swiped by either a toerag or a king. Your act of charity will always be remembered by those directly involved. Better a hero with no mobile, than a coward with the latest Nokia.

Hi folks, just thought I'd share this little tale with you, to see what you think...
 

When one steps up in this fair land of today, one can frequently become the victim.

There's little else to do however, those in need must be helped and I salute the action taken by you both. 8-) 8-)

Welcome home, my son, to a land of empty and gutless individuals always looking for the main chance to profit from the misfortune of others!!

Hi all, thanks for your comments. I've almost got everything sorted, new phone & sim, FoC courtesy of O2, I had all of my replacement cards by Saturday lunchtime. Just trying to chase up my new driving licence now. New daysack & jackets will come with time.
All said & done, I'd do the same again any day!!

I very much doubt it....even if he can read.

good point there! my other thought is that whoever got the very cheap i-phone that was totally scrambled & forever unusable last week will now know where it came from. i'm still raging at insurance company for getting out of paying though!

As said it may be worth having a word with the insurance company and explain to them that if they don't look on your situation favourably taking into consideration the circumstances of your loss there are a couple of national newspapers interested in your "good samaritan" story and of coarse they would report on the name of the insurance company in question.
Back to the main subject of the story, Well done both of you

A quick update for everyone who has been looking in on my ranting & raving!
Yesterday, the Aberdeen Evening Express ran a copy of the story. Shortly before I did this, I contacted the insurance company one last time, telling them that I would refer the reporter to them for comment. Within 5 minutes of the reporter calling them, they were on the phone, offering to sort things out asap.
Now, the story would end reasonably happily here, but, in the best tradition of these things, there is, a happy, twist in the tale. At lunchtime today, I received a phone call from Grampian Police, to say that as a direct result of the story yesterday, someone had handed the day-sack in, complete with all contents!!! I was then called by the cyclists wife, via the paper, in order to say thanks, and that she wanted to speak to us in person. Her husband, James, is due to leave hospital later this week, and is expected to make a full & speedy recovery.
So, I just wanted to let you all know how things have ended, and to thank once again everyone who has helped me.
Last but not least, thanks to all of you who have left comments, and given advice etc - especially when I was still raging!!
It seems that there are people with a tiny bit of decency out there...  Or was it the pic in the paper? I'm a big lad, & i wasn't looking too happy............        8-)

Nice result .. pity it took so much to "shame" the culprit into giving your stuff back ... but at least you got it.

And the news about the guy should make you feel pretty proud about what you did.
