doitny Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 i lost my wallet today. i had everything in it. i stopped off at a newsstand to pick up some stuff and then went to get Chinese food. you can imagine the look on my face when i reached into my pocket and found nothing. i went back to the newsstand and ripped my car apart and found nothing. when i got home i canceled all my cards. about 9pm tonight i get a knock on my door and a pretty young women had my wallet. she said he boyfriend found it by the newsstand. i was so happy. i had 80 dollars in it and it all was still there. i never carry money but i was getting sick of that 4-5% card charge they keep doing at the Chinese take out and other places that i took out money. that sh*t adds up when you use it every day. i gave her 60 dollars. that was 75% of the money i had in there. was that good? what would you give? i cant help but think that they are disappointed because they could have just kept it and had the whole 80 bucks. and they did save me from getting a new Drivers license and work ID which is a real pain to get. just wondering if you guys lost a wallet or returned one what was the money situation. they actually are lucky because i never keep money and if this happened yesterday i wouldn't have any to give them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think they returned your wallet expecting anything in return and I'm sure appreciate your gesture. Seems like 2 people trying to do right in the world which is awesome, we need more of that and I think you showed your appreciation by offering anything in return. I've returned wallets before, there was cash in them and I didnt even count how much...so it's possible they didnt either considering they did the what they did. Did you happen to get their names? I dont have social media so I dont know how that stuff works but I'm wondering if a post or something like that sharing the story and trying to find them would be cool? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving them $60 was more than fair. Personally, I wouldn't have accepted the money if I was the one who found your wallet. I'm glad you got it back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if they were nice enough to find you and return it they’d expect anything. Great to hear though. Losing a wallet or phone is a pain in the ass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was very nice of you. She didn't return it for the $ but I am sure she appreciated that. Similar story that @T0mShane posted once. He had $40 in the wallet but then he told the girl her "reward" was the $600 he left on the nightstand in the bedroom. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
