I found a wallet in the middle of the street. No money but a name and a phone number. I called the woman and told her I had found her wallet. When she came to pick it up she looked inside and said a $100 bill was missing. I didn’t take her money, in fact I suspect she had never seen a $100 bill in her whole life!
A few years ago we found a wallet in the middle of a country road in Oklahoma, we took it to the police dept. in Ardmore. The policeman grilled me like he thought I had stolen it.
I think I will leave the next wallet I find in the street! I don’t like to be accused of doing things I would never do, like steal a wallet!
I dropped my wallet once near a school and a nice lady who worked there found it kept it for me. Also, I was on vacation in Ireland and lost a wallet somewhere, probably carelessly left it in a cab. Not a huge deal, about $80 and no important papers.
A few years ago, I found a young guy’s wallet with ID and very little of value; I just wrapped it up, addressed it -with a notation of ‘your wallet’- and dropped it in a mailbox, without postage...........pretty sure he’d pick up the ‘postage due’.
