"Lost" Wallets

[SkyRider]

Good news stories don't seem to last very long on TERB but here is one anyway. In to-day's Toronto Star (next to the Escort Credit Card story) is a story about 20 "lost" wallets and 17 have been returned so far. Sort of restores your faith in (wo)mankind, doesn't it?

I have lost my wallet a couple, each time the wallet was returned minus the cash.
The second time the wallet was mailed to a lady I was seeing at the time. She had written the new address for her incall and I had the piece of paper with the address in my wallet. Which was strange as in my wallet there was my health card with my correct address!

The article mentioned that the one left in the library of Osgoode Hall Law School has never been returned.

Makes you wonder...

Good training for future lawyers?

I found a wallet about 3 weeks ago. Belongs to a young woman who lives not far from where I found it. Dropped it off in her mailbox (everything intact).

I lost my wallet while skiing when I was 15 years old, at Blue Mountain. Amongst other things, it had my SIN card, Birth Certificate, students card and about $27 in it. I had to go through the rather arduous process of getting replacement ID's of course, (which is actually even MORE difficult now than it was 30 yrs ago...) 4 years later my Mom called me up (I had since moved away from home) and said there was a parcel waiting for me that I could pick up on my next trip home to see her... I remember thinking she was just making an excuse for her baby boy to visit so I didn't think anything of it... The following weekend I went to see her and the package contained my wallet! And it still had the $27 bucks in it as well as everything else of course!

The article says that the idiot who picked up the wallet in Whitby is facing possible fraud charges as he tried to use the ATM card before returning the wallet to the local police station. Just desserts.

Don't you love good deed stories? You only had a lousy $27!

Ya think? But realize that $27 was a heck of a lot of $$$ for a 15 yr old 30 years ago...
