The cold read, splitsville, texting into a manhole (and suing out of it) & make sure you get your lost purse back.

Sad to see that it had to be a girl.

Speaking about misfortunes, "A New York City teenager says she was text messaging while walking down the street — and the next second she was down a manhole", reports Fox News. Needless to say, the girl's family wants to sue- I think they should sue the service provider and the cellphone company too, and the person who sent her the message to her in the first place- she was forced to text beck.

And the last news for now, you have a great chance of getting your lost purse back if you kept a photo of your child inside it- at least in Edinburgh, because scientists there lost purses on purpose and 88 per cent of the purses with the picture of a child inside it, reports Telegraph.
