I left my wallet on top of a gas pump one time on Thanksgiving. I didn't realize I had lost it until much later that day. I figured that's where it must have been left. About 4 or 5 months later I got a notice by the USPS for a mail pickup. I went to the post office and there was my wallet. No cash but all of my cards were there, license, and military ID which I had since replaced. They said it was found by someone who probably just dropped it in a mail box somewhere and then made it's way through the system.

I was able to return a phone I found while walking to Metro on the way to work in DC. The guy who owned it had taken his cat to the vet that morning and it slipped out of his pocket while getting into an Uber. His fiance called the phone, we set up a meeting, and he biked up from Georgetown to my office to pick it up. Gave me a $15 Starbucks card, which was a nice gesture.

You should've just asked for a little something...

Your story reminded me of one my old man told me.
When he was a kid, if one of his friends mothers got a new purse, they’d take the old one and put dog shite in it. They would then put it out by the highway and wait. Sooner or later someone would stop and grab the purse, then hop into the car and leave quickly hoping no one saw them. He said the car would make it fifty feet or so before the brakes were slammed on and that old purse would come flying out the window.

is it sad that I was scared to click this thread because for some reason I thought that the guy returning the wallet was going to be robbed and murdered.
thank god that did not happen but these days are so fricked up that I actually thought that something like that was going to happen

So the mail carrier can steal it? No thanks

Germans
I mean this shite happens on the reg there.
Or in Japan.
Or in Scandinavian countries.
Ask me “How about France?” and I’ll answer your question with a rhetorical question: How do you think the inhabitants of the country whose culture has inspired the mores of Louisiana’s politicians would behave in a similar scenario?

Once upon a time (when I was in college) I was walking into the Winn-Dixie in my home town. A guys driving in the parking lot, rolls down the windows and throws out a popsicle stick. As he starts to pull away, I pick it up and chase him down yelling "Sir! Sir!!" waving at him frantically. When he stops and rolls down the window to see why I'm flagging hime down, I say, "Whew. I'm glad I caught you. I think you dropped this. I wouldn't want you to lose it."
The look on his face was priceless.
PS I'd never do that today. Too many crazies.

A college girlfriend spent a summer attending Oxford in London, England, and got separated from her purse by the automatic doors on the subway. In it was a postcard she had written me, and some Brit got my address and mailed me a letter with the card telling how she could contact him to get her purse. Presuming he saw her, he had the ulterior motive of hoping to meet her.

Months after the earthquake and tsunami that hit the Fukushima area of Japan, items that floated across the Pacific onto the shores of Washington and Oregon were shipped back to Japan to be reunited with their owners.

If you find a wallet and bring it to the post office they will mail it to the owner free of charge. You can also just drop it in one of their mailboxes.

He didn’t have to do that but he is a good man for wanting to return it. I know if I lost my wallet, I would want somebody to return it to me.

was 11 and exploring in a patch of woods with my friends when we discovered an abandoned car. Found the owner's registration and realized their house was close by. We promptly rode our bikes to the person's house and told them we found their car.
We were rewarded with spending the rest of the day swimming in their pool and eating pizza

Wife found a young woman’s wallet in a bar bathroom in Dallas. Full of cards and some cash. She was no longer present, and the staff didn’t look very trustworthy. I borrowed a cell phone, back before we all had one, and called her apartment complex office, her gym, and another contact based on info in the wallet. Told them we had her wallet and how to contact us at our hotel. They got word to her, she called, and we left it in an envelope for her at the desk of our hotel. I always wondered if she got it or the hotel folks decided to have a party on her tab.

This story sounds way better than it was.
Left my wallet somewhere on a small “boatel” (an old boat turned into a hotel) on the Danube in Budapest.
Realized I lost my wallet when I got to the airport. Had my passport and had to make my flight so I couldn’t go back.
This was before cell phones. I got home and started making calls. Got through to the boat. Somewhere in their Hungarian I heard the word embassy. I cold called the US embassy.
Someone at the hotel found the wallet, took it to the embassy, and it was apparently already in the mail.
Got it a few weeks later, kept the envelop with a crap ton of stamps on it as a souvenir from the trip. It was missing a $20 (still had cards, $100, and some Romanian money). I figure either the person who found it took it, or whoever mailed it used it for shipping.
