Lost my wallet
- Thread starter Ziltoid
- Start date
Just received an email from another student who found my wallet. I'll get it back tomorrow!
Awesome! That's great news.
Money never hurts.
True story: I was playing a show at Seacrets in Ocean City, MD. After the show I walked down the road for a late night slice of pizza. Somewhere along the way back I lost my wallet. In the morning a lady found it. She knew my older brother (who now lives in Jacksonville, FL) from a band he was in years ago. She hit my bro up on FB, got my current address (my old address was still on my license),and mailed it back- cash, cards, and all. I sent her flowers later. Of ALL the people who could've found my wallet, it was someone who knew my brother. How lucky is that?!
Offer him money. If he refuses, give him beer.
It would have been a PITA to replace all of the contents of your wallet, and it would have cost money. It's polite to offer.

give him a twenty. that's what I got when I found someone's wallet in a parking lot & tracked him down via the interwebs. seems fair to me. if he doesn't accept, then that's on him. but thank him again.

Love hearing things like this. Restores my faith in humanity.
Where was it found? In the cab?
Cancelling the credit card was a good move. You can't get your wallet back until you've paid your dues in frustration. Once you've done that, the Watchers decide when and if you get your wallet back. You must have some pretty good karma to get it back with only a credit card cancellation and a good 12 hours of stressing about it.
Some years ago, I lost my wallet and lost everything. I had everything replaced.
In the spring, the good lad next door knocked on my door and handed my wallet to me. He had just found it in the snowbank by our mutual driveway. Everything was still in it.
Stuff like that happens when you're living up in Watertown, NY. It must have fallen out of the pocket of my sweat jacket when I was shovelling snow just before I headed to the base to lead morning exercise (P.T. to you former Army guys).

I foolishly carried my SS card in my wallet for a time. I lost it about 10 years ago. As far as I know, no one wanted to live my life.
Theres a drugs thread?
And old fashioned is in order.

Bingo. Great ending
I'd buy him a six-pack and hand it over when you collect your wallet. Even if he doesn't drink, he'll appreciate the gesture. Sounds like the kind of guy who will probably just buzz off your gratitude. Or is it a girl?
Either way, pleased for you
Got my wallet, everything is there, he found it in the cab shortly after I forgot it there. I tried to give him a 20$, he declined. I thanked him a few times.
This is a cool ending.
edit: basically all I lost is time and some money I used to buy a wallet yesterday. I'll get a new cc in the mail soon and my SIN has been flagged for potential theft but that's all details.
