Man spends an entire year trying to get his sunnies back after a date gone wrong

AFTER this man’s date accidentally left with his sunglasses, he texted her every week for a year begging her to return them.

The look of a defeated man.

THIS is a love story about a man named Alex and a girl named Anna.

The pair were on a first date and Alex had asked Anna if she would mind putting his expensive shades in her handbag. All was going well, until Anna decided Alex wasn’t the right man for her.

Rather than politely explaining the situation, she headed for the hills. Only, when she did a runner, she left with his sunglasses still in her bag. He promptly texted her to advise of the slight mix-up, but received no reply.

And so began a 12-month quest to be reunited with his dearly beloved ... sunglasses.

No reply? OK, I will persist.
