......To collect my wallet i dropped it some where in town and four hours later got it back .
All there , money ,cards the lot !
Lots of them get handed in I'm told by the officer !
A big thanks to the person who found it

You're welcome

Any chance of a reward

Real life karma will sort you out ( sending a thank you letter and reward to the real person )

Worth a try

When in Oz in 92, found a purse with wads of cash as well as cards and bits of paper with 4 digit numbers on, as well as mini statements showing $$$ in an account. Handed it to the police station and left my address. Three months later, the lady sent me $50 reward.
Honesty pays.

Emptying the wallet and withdrawing loads of cash would have paid more

kris maynard

Tut tut...thats a dreadful attitude.

My mam always said, 'honesty is the best policy'.

(most of the time)

kris maynard

Yeh just think of being able to shop without looking at prices

( I am honest really)

Paul I an Ideal world I would agree. To be honest it is a good value to be taught when young. If only everybody shared your attitude the world would be a better place. Cos then I could beat that idiot that stole my pushbike when I was 7

Last year when I was back in the UK, my wallet fell out of my pocket in a taxi. I rang the taxi company next day: no joy, they gave me the phone number of the driver, so I rang him, and he swore blind he didnt find it. Anyhow, I told him I had already reported the loss to the police (which I had done), and cancelled all of the vredit cards.

A couple of weeks after I got back to Australia, my son (in England) rang me. The police had found my wallet (dumped on the pavement right outside the police station). My son went down to collect it. All my cards were still there, but all the cash had gone (80 quid), including $50 Singapore and $20 Australian.

That's happened to me a few times, and once I left it in the toilet in a busy city centre pub (half pissed I probably was) and I went back to see if it was still there, and it was! But the arseholes that had found it, had nicked the 6 pounds in coins that was in. Luckily I hadn't been to the bank, and all my cards were still there too

Funny you have posted on this thread. As I read the OP it made me think of the story you told us on Sunday re the rucksack. You really are a bit forgetful arent you . Hope you remember which patients you are looking after

To the OP, how lucky was that.

I would always hand a purse etc in if I found it, my conscience wouldn't let me do otherwise. Some people are just scum . I recently lost my mobile, somewhere between my car and the hairdressers. I rang my number as soon as I realised I'd lost it and it went straight to answerphone. I know for a fact that the phone was switched on and the battery was charged which means somebody had probably taken out the SIM card. I wasnt bothered too much about the phone because that is replaceable but it had all my numbers stored on it (stupidly I dont write them down just keep them in my phone!). Worst of all though it had photos of my late husband on it which are irreplaceable . Luckily my favourite photo, the one of him and the kids at a restaurant on my birthday last year, I sent to my kids phones after he died as it was a lovely photo for them to remember him by.

Would have gladly paid a reward to get it back but some people are just so dishonest

The first time was due to being pissed, and the incident with the rucksack was due to jet lag!

They are my excuses and I am sticking to them
