Twenty-five years ago, in the summer of 1983, I was working as the midnight hostler in the Croton-Harmon shops of Metro-North (the commuter railroad that runs north and east from Grand Central Terminal in New York). A hostler moves the cars around as needed, and back then working midnights was all I could get, so I took it.
One night, walking through the cars, I noticed a wallet on one of the seats. I picked it up and turned it in at the office. Didn't even bother to open it and look inside.
Turns out it belonged to one of the producers of CBS' "60 Minutes". Got a nice letter out of that one. Still have that letter someplace, I think.

Damn! You had a chance of making a conservative out of him! jk. Too bad people even think about taking things that are not theirs.
