It Was Found
Posted by Jack under Off-topic
As a follow-up to yesterday’s talk about losing my wallet, there is good news.
The wallet disappeared Tuesday evening during a two hour span of time. I searched for it and asked other people in the group if they had seen it. Ultimately, I conceded defeat and reported it missing.
Thursday evening, after going through the trouble of replacing my driver’s license and canceling my cards, the wallet was turned in. It surprised the staff there too - they said they had never had a wallet get turned in after it was reported stolen.
When I arrived to pick it up, we were all surprised that everything except the cash ($6) was still in there. Nothing missing, no attempts made to use the cards before they were canceled. Nothing was even out of place.
A pleasant end to a not so fun experience.

Glad to hear you got it back. I’ve had a couple of times where I “lost” my wallet, cancelled my credit card and then found it again - usually in the car or messy bedroom.

Mike, thanks for the good wishes.
I’ve “lost” mine a few times, but I’ve found a trick that seems to help me. I leave my wallet in the pocket of the pants I wore last. Then, when I get dressed in the morning, I know where it is. Same thing with my keys.
I could probably designate a space on my nightstand or dresser to put the keys and wallet too, but that would become one more thing to remember to do just before crawling in bed - and that is when I most want my routine to be simple, quick, and as short as possible.
