This is a complicated matter, but I shall explain it as best as I can, in the medium of script. 
Cast.
Purse Woman (PW): The Villain.
Lace: Female Lead.
Sasha: Supporting Role.
Tony (the security guard): Male Lead.
Teenage Boy (TB): The Hero.
~~~
First Act.
The stage is set on a normal English winter day. It is overcast, and somewhat windy. Lace and Sasha are working in the petrol station when TB enters and approaches Lace.
TB: Um, I found this purse in the road, with the cards all scattered round it. So I collected them and put them back; one's broken, tho.
Lace examines the purse. There is a very obvious tire mark, showing that a car has gone over it, the likely cause of the broken card.
Lace: Thank you very much. I'll put it someplace safe for when the customer who lost it comes to collect it.
{Exit TB}
Second Act.
PW has, in the meantime, called up the petrol station and stated that she lost her purse there. Sasha takes the call, confirms that the purse found by TB is the purse that PW lost, and PW arranges to come straight away and collect it. When PW arrives, Lace checks her ID and gives her back the purse.
PW: What? Where's the money?
Lace: What money?
Lace is puzzled by PW's claims as the purse had no cash inside it when TB handed it in.
PW: I had £30 in five pound notes in my purse. Your colleague said on the phone that my purse was handed in by a teenage boy; he must have taken it!
Lace does not think this is the case, as the teenage boy surely wouldn't have come into the petrol station and handed in the purse if he had stolen the money out of it, but to pacify PW, who is shrieking with rage and demanding compensation, calls over Tony. When Tony arrives, Lace and Tony go out back and check the cameras.
Now, this is where the real story emerges. PW was lying when she said that she'd left her purse on the pump. In actual fact, she used the pay at the pump facility and left her purse on top of her car. She drove out of the petrol station at speed, and the purse flew off the car and hit the road, exploding open at the moment of impact. Remember that I said earlier that it was a windy day? Well, on the camera very clearly could be seen the fivers blasting down the road at the speed of light. Obviously, there were some very happy passersbys that day, and PW doesn't have a leg to stand on as the loss of her cash was entirely her fault.
