CHICAGO — Edna Rojas-Dunbar is thankful to the mystery woman in the pink hat who returned her valuables she thought she'd lost forever the day after the Cubs won the World Series.
Rojas-Dunbar, an Albany Park native who now lives in suburban Elmwood Park, went to Wrigley Field the Thursday after the Cubs beat the Indians in Game 7 of the World Series to pick up some memorabilia and soak in the Wrigleyville atmosphere.

During her walk around the neighborhood, she lost her wristlet, which contained two credit cards, her driver's license, $25-$30 in cash and other items. Rojas-Dunbar, her friend and cousin spent the next several hours retracing their steps to no avail.
"Honestly, I didn't think I'd get any of it back," said Rojas-Dunbar, a Roosevelt High School and Robert Morris University graduate.
But 10 days later, while Rojas-Dunbar was raking leaves in her backyard, a woman with blonde hair and a pink hat placed the items at Rojas-Dunbar's doorstep. Rojas-Dunbar has a surveillance camera that captured video of the woman ringing the doorbell a few times before she dropped off the items, but that video footage erased, she said.
Rojas-Dunbar is still hoping to meet the woman, who possibly made a 45-minute drive from Wrigleyville to Elmwood Park to personally return the items.
"I'm so thankful to her," she said. "I just want to thank her and give her a hug. She needs to know what she did was above and beyond what you'd expect anyone to do. I just hope that good karma is returned to her, and I know it will be.
"People should know that there are a lot of good people out there," Rojas-Dunbar added. "What this woman did for me lifted me."
