from this writeup? ——
I had invested much effort into securing a customised Tomica Toyota GR Supra for my son. We specially patronised the Tomica Assembly Factory for this.
However, disaster struck. He put it inside a locker at the JR Station - and could not retrieve it. It was locked!
We had little time to spare, so we went about our itinerary first. Then, we returned to the locker. We had few clues to work on. In fact, we could only find one number to call. So, we did.
Two staff members of the locker company came to us. They had much trouble understanding our situation, but they eventually got it. Luckily, they did not say that there was little truth in what we said.
One member stated that someone had passed a Tomica car that matched our description to the Lost and Found Office. He returned to the office to get it back for us. We were elated. We really had a great deal of luck that worked in our favour.
