The case of the lost wallet

[pigletwillie]

Whilst in Tesco this afternoon, I was perusing the deli when I realised that my wallet was no longer in my posession, having fallen out of my shorts (at least nothing else fell out of my shorts) somewhere in store.

As I was bereft of a means to pay for my shopping I hurried to the customer services counter just as a customer handed it in. The wallet was just as I had lost it, including a book of stamps and £240 in cash and my cards.

To say I was relieved was an under statement, the lady in question was glad that it found its owner and refused my offer of a thankyou £20, I did persuade her to let me pay for a bottle of wine to go with her dinner though.

Not all people are arses, just the odd few thankfully.

A big thankyou to the un-named lady, may you live long and prosper.

[lottie dolly]

what an awfull feeling that is,so pleased you got it back,and with speed,have been there myself,both as a child,and my complete hand bag as an adult,my bag i got back aprox 3 weeks later,i wept with joy,it's a shame that a minority of so called people cannot be trusted.

I'm trying to remember when I had more the £40 in my wallet years!
Nice to see that there are still decent people about Piglet.

you really shoudnt have been wearing shorts......in tescos ..on a sunday...in april?? I think your wallet (which judging by its contents is a well dressed wallet)wanted a better home than the obviously loose pocket of a pair of shorts.....

[pigletwillie]

Well, they were a tailored pair and it was warm to be fair. The wallet was a Christmas present from my daughter and is nice italian leather so I am doubly grateful its back.

As for the cash, well, some was for shopping, £60 is for petrol and a £100 for road tax. Normally I have about £20 in it.

You obviously need a man bag....nice to see some honesty in the big wide world though.

Hurrumphed re the honesty and niceness. Equally hurrumphed re that amount of money in my wallet. Just looked in mine and I have a fiver in English, 10 Sudanese pounds, 12 Chaddian Dollars and 3 euro in the loose change bit.
I'm sure that kind lady will be repayed somehow somewhere.

What a lovely lady!! I hope she enjoyed her wine

It's just as I have always said - most people are good.
Glad you got your wallet back Piglet. It's not just the money, it's all the other things that live in there - cards, driving licence, insurance, AA membership etc.
My husband lost his a couple of years ago - no dishonesty involved, just lost - and it took months to sort it all out.
Well done that woman for handing it in promptly annd so glad for you Piglet.
Maybe what goes around comes around.

So glad you got your wallet back, good on that lady.

Thanks, PW, for a good news story, it's cheered me up.
