Just to be more specific. Canada still uses SIN's and sends out paper SIN's - just not the plastic ones which I assume are more expensive to produce. This is similar to the US where the SIN equivalent, the Social Security Card, is a paper card.
I lost my wallet...some slimeball is having the time of their life.

Last year I lost my wallet on the bus. It must of fell out of my jacket pocket when I took out my house keys. I felt depressed for the next 1.5 weeks. I have never lost anything in my life even sunglasses or keys so I was pissed at myself. In the wallet was a few CCs, DL, Old school health card and a few other cards and $150 in cash.
So 3 weeks later a friend of mine suggested I call the transit lost and found. I never thought of this since I thought it was gone for good. I called and they informed me that it was turned in. After a few weeks the transit co turned it over to the Police so I had to pick it up at a Police station.
Got there verified it was mine and opened the wallet. Every single item was still there including the $150 cash. I felt a rush of different emotions all at the same time. Shock, relief and joy.
I asked the cop if the person that turned it in left a contact number as I would love to reward them. The officer said that they did not leave any contact info.
I thanked the officer and even offered to buy the officers there lunch but they said that they could not except. I thanked them again and just as I was leaving the officer says to me. ''There are still good people out there''
I hope your wallet gets returned to you

Wow you have some really good luck. Glad you got everything back.
My wallet is long gone.
I have already replaced everything. I don't plan on getting anything back. A real creep picked it up. It bothers me even more so because it was a women's restroom. I'm sure anyone could tell when they opened it that I would come back looking for it.
In the past year, I've found two wallets. Both full of cash and credit cards.
There was enough info in the wallets to contact the owners.
They were thankful and insisted on giving me $100 cash on both instances.
It's not about the reward, but all about doing what's right and frankly, karma. You'd hope someone would do the same if you lost your wallet.
