it doesn't hurt to try (Maggie)

cliche.

it was worth a try (в наст. вр. it's worth a try • On Wednesday, my car was broken into and a suitcase full of clothes was stolen along with 2 other bags. The other 2 bags were recovered near Homer and Helmcken due to a police incident involving the thief, but the third is still missing so I'm posting here to ask if anyone downtown has happened to come across a light pink/lavender SwissGear hard-shell suitcase? I ask because I imagine it would have been dumped somewhere once it was discovered that there is nothing of value inside, other than clothes of sentimental value to myself. I know this is such a long-shot, but figured it was worth a try! Thank you so much everyone, have a wonderful long weekend! (Reddit) ART Vancouver)
