SIR - I refer to the story about young people getting a bad press (T&A, October 24). Perhaps the following will even up the score.

I used a cash point in the centre of Bradford on Wednesday, October 25, and accidentally left my card in the machine.

A young man who was waiting to use the machine retrieved the card and chased me across Centenary Square to give it back.

If he reads this and recognises himself, I hope he will accept my thanks.

Other readers might like to note that most young people are law-abiding citizens who don't get the good publicity they deserve.
