Helen Fulton thought she’d never see the document again and was “gobsmacked” to find it in the post days later, after it blew away down the Headrow on Wednesday morning. The 29-year-old mum was out with her 10-week-old son, George, with his two birth certificates in a file under the buggy.
Helen told the Yorkshire Evening Post: “It just blew from under the buggy and I was trying to chase it down the street. I managed to catch one of them, but the other one I couldn’t find for the life of me - so I assumed it would be lost in the gutter somewhere as it was raining. I thought it was lost forever.

Helen posted a message on community Facebook group LeedsPlace, hoping to find the stranger behind the good deed. Residents have praised the kind-hearted act, with one commenting: “There are still a lot of lovely folk out there.”
Helen, of Colton, added: “It makes you think, there are some nice people out there, it’s not all bad. I want to say a huge thank you to them, it was really kind of them. I’d love to buy them a box of chocolates to say thank you.”
