I went to an ice cream stand with my son and left my wallet on a bench. 2nd time I ever lost/left my wallet somewhere in my entire life. Anyway, the ice cream place calls me, I go to pick it up and the $90.00 I had in there is gone.:mad: I guess I should be happy someone didn't just take it alltogher, but why couldn't it have been on a day when I had $6.00 in my wallet.

Oh well, I am posting this 'cause I just want everybody to feel sorry for me. So do me a favor and just feel sorry for me for a few minutes....thanks

It was actually only $82.00.
Ooops, ....I mean sorry to hear that Jeff.
:)

Seriously, with the problems today with identity theft I suppose you're lucky it was just the cash Jeff.
Very expensive ice cream trip.

I have an OCD when it comes to checking things in my pockets. I've had it since I can remember. Everytime I move from one area to another or get up from a seated position, I find myself checking to make sure I have my wallet, phone, penknife, etc. I'm being serious when I say this too. Not sure why I ever started this, but I think it has something to do with the fear of doing exactly what you did. I don't want to say that I've never lost anything in my 50-years, because as soon as I say that you know what's going to happen. :oops:

That being said, at least it was only the cash. Getting all the "other stuff" replaced would have been a bunch of time and a big hassle.
 
I am pretty much the same when it comes to my wallet and keys... I have an instinctive fear of losing them (my father used to lecture me about this when I was a little boy). Funny, just a couple days ago I had a nightmare about being in a strange place and losing my wallet... woke up in a cold sweat.

Sorry to hear about the loss Jeff, but I agree it could have been a lot worse. In the time it was missing, somebody could have maxxed out your credit cards - I've seen it happen to somebody just that fast.
 
Sorry to hear that Jeff. I'm glad you got it back, to bad about the money. I lost a wallet once about 15 years ago. I have had a chain wallet ever since and never lost one again. It wasn't so much the money but the credit cards/drivers license/pesticide license that were in it that I had to replace that made it a headache.

I found a wallet once in a WaWa bathroom with $100.00 in it and the guys info so I had to head towards his house so I figured I would drop it off on the way to were I had to go. Well he was not home but his roomate was. I wonder to this day if his friend took advantage of the situation and kept the $100.00 bucks and said the wallet was returned with no money?

Two weekends ago I was at the Eckert corn place on 70 and when returning to my car from purchasing corn there was another car next to mine with a wallet laying on the ground. It looked really stuffed! I turned and headed back to the stand and asked who owned the car next to mine, and a man raised his arm indicating it was his. I told him to check his pockets and see if anything was missing and he quickly said his wallet was gone. He had been standing in line to pay. I headed back to the car with him following me and I let him pick it up off the ground. Outwardly he was pretty calm about it all.

FYI- If you ever find a wallet that has been lost, you can take it to the post office or drop it off in a mail collection box. The post office will place it in an envelope and mail it to the owner. They will deliver it postage due of course. I only keep cash and my license on me with a money clip when I am out. My wallet is rarely on me. Your lucky to get your wallet back. I don't think it being returned is normal. I hope you atleast enjoyed the ice cream.:)
 
When I was oystering on the Chesapeake I lost mine one night after we unloaded. I didn't figure it out until a couple hours later when I went to pay the tab for my food and beer at a local joint on Tilghman. I went running back down to the boat and found the wallet sitting almost exactly half on and half off the dock, hanging out over Knapp's Narrows. Had like $300 in it, too.
