Umbrellas like Canberra

Or at least the ones bought there do. In my travels to Canberra I’ve now bought two compact travel umbrellas and lost *both* of them within a week of purchase. Seems like an umbrella bought in Canberra really wants to stay in Canberra — the last one lost was liberated by someone who sought to relieve me of a burden at the x-ray screening at Canberra Airport. To that someone, if you’re reading: I’d rather have kept the umbrella, thanks, and you could have asked me before you liberated it from me…
