>Run up to the driver and ask him if he saw someone leaving with a bright pink carrier bag
>Told me an old man got off a few stops before and took it out with his stuff
>Stop is only a few blocks away so I run
>I run like I've never run before
>I make it to the stop but there's no old man
>Ask the other people waiting at the stop if they've seen him
>"Oh he realised he took some extra bags by mistake and went to take them to the lost and found at the bus station"
>Thank them and start running back
>See the old man at the entrance to the bus station
>He has my bags!
>My dream dress is back in my hands!
>Take the bag while he complains how he had to walk back to the bus station
>Don't even care that it's really his fault and thank him anyways
Lesson learnt I will ALWAYS carry all my bags with me, even if the driver says I can't.

Some people want to be original and put some time and work into searching for good accessories. Looking around stores takes a bit of effort and even with Taobao you need to learn how to use the site a bit.
Personally I'm fine with sharing my offbrand finds but I think just using others (even minimum effort) work just takes the spark out of the hobby. It feels wonderful to spend hours searching and finally finding the perfect item.
