What was in a purse returned to its owner after 46 years?

A purse lost 46 years ago has been returned to its owner after it was found during the renovation of a movie theatre.

In 1975, Colleen Distin went to the movies at the Majestic cinema in Ventura, California.

When she realised her purse had fallen out of a hole in her bag, she called the cinema, but had no luck.

Earlier this year, Tom Stevens found the wallet in a crawlspace, and through social media, found Colleen quickly.

Everything was still inside, except a $200 cheque, but Tom had a surprise. Watch the video for more.
