Last week we got a knock at the door.
Chris looked through the eye hole and saw a man he didn't recognize. He opened the door reluctantly, only to see that the man was holding my wallet in his hand!!
NO WAY!
It had been weeks now with no word and no hope of it ever turning up. But low and behold, our prayers were answered. So cool.
He said he found it about three weeks ago in the middle of the street with papers flying everywhere on the road. His job working for a towing company takes him up and down that particular road on the daily. He saw it in the street, he said and stopped and picked up what he could and just left what he couldn't.
In thanks we gave him a $20 from Chris' wallet and said goodbye. It looked like pretty much everything was there still, other than the receipts I had stashed throughout the previous month or so. which makes sense because they're so light weight.
A few days past and I started remembering a few more things that were missing...
like my blank checks...
$5 in cash
$25 gift card to Toys R Us
A gift card to Macy's for $50
.... yet all my other cards that didn't have cash value happened to be just fine.
Why do I feel so sick right now?!
I can't help but be frustrated at the thought that they were taken out of my wallet once it was found.
Not to mention that Sharon and I had re-driven our route that night MULTIPLE times looking for flying papers in the road... and we saw NOTHING, not one piece of trash littering the streets.
I sincerely hope that I'm wrong in my accusation, but if I'm not I sure hope Karma treats him well. Especially with the extra $20 we handed him at our door.
I guess I should look at the bright side in knowing that my ID card is safe, I don't have to worry about identity left, and I don't have to spend $50+ on replacing my license, Disneyland pass, and my wallet itself.
And to celebrate, I've been to Disneyland 3 times in the past week! And I'm no where near sick of it, yet. Not to mention that Chris FINALLY got a pass, too. yippy!
(and for all you responsible people out there, yes I canceled all my cards AND closed the account that the checks were linked to, and yes I do know that I still could be a victim of identity left)
