I just received a telephone call from my wife at home letting me know that my wallet just returned home after 3 days missing! The following note was attached:
"Found your wallet in the Wal-Mart parking lot. Be more careful next time."
Almost everything was still in my wallet. Can you guess what was missing...
That's right...the money. No big deal. I was going to send the $25 to whomever sent it back anyway. It is nice to see that some people will go out of their way for a stranger. This person does not know me but yet took the time to pick the wallet up, finger through it for contact information, take it to the post office and send it back to it's rightful owner. This whole situation has taught me an awful lot about myself and others. When I get home, I will be writing a thank you letter to the very kind and caring person who retruned it.
The wallet has been returned!

But yes, it most certainly makes for a good life lesson to be prepared with backups.
Speaking of which, I better set up an appointment for an eye exam right now.

Whoever it was was grateful, but was extremely secretive! This woman absolutely refused to give out any personal information about her, but did probe me for mine.
To this day, I wonder who she was, and why the secrecy?
