Found a wallet in a movie theater... must have slipped out of a back pocket?

Had everything in and $130... I returned it to the address on the license which I confirmed and dropped it through the mail slot... never heard anything...

I have found some valuable things in homes I have bought... one was in an old book that had Nine-ex Stock Certificates... about 9,000... even though I bought at probate home and contents I contacted the estate attorney and mailed them to him.... it did cause some problems as they had just settled the estate and now had to account for the extra.

I believe in what goes around comes around...

Well I found my own wallet one day that had about $1000 in cash in it.
Had stopped at a public wash room rather urgently to do what had to be done.
Getting home I discovered the missing wallet and rushed back to that loo about 3/4 hrs later and to my extreme surprise the wallet was still there.
Any way that's my 'lost and found story'.
And, no I did not give a reward!

That's why you need an uncomfortable wallet. :)

Too late for me. I understood what the upside down people were saying because of the F'erin TV shows we watch. We watch a couple of Aussie shows that have been surprisingly canceled as well as a plethora of UK shows. Spend more time watching those shows than US shows.

Now there are some of the UK shows where the wifey has to turn on the subtitles to understand what these supposed English speakers are saying! :shocked::laughing::laughing::laughing: One of the shows, Shetlands is set in the Shetland Islands and I read the local paper for grins and giggles. How did we live without the Internet. Any who, on the Shetland newspaper there were complaints about the actor's accent in the TV show not being accurate enough. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Later,

I have found cards still in the ATM machine multiple times. If bank is open, I drive around and give them to a teller at the drive through. If bank is closed, I put them in through the night deposit drawer. Twice I've chased people down through the parking lot because they were immediately ahead of me.

There's an old myth that may or may not carry water...it used to said that people (kids mostly I think) who were lucky and were always finding things...also happened to step in dog poop a lot...
Anyone remember hearing this or observe a tendency?

...has to turn on the subtitles to understand...

I used to do that when 'King of the Hill' was on so I could understand what Boomhauer was saying...!
