Have you ever lost your keys or wallet and how did it turn out?

[thegreenyogi]

How did it go? Did you loose it and find it?

Actually I have a great story about losing my wallet. I was young, probably the first 5 years of my marriage. We had a boat. And my ex's cousin who lived in Maine also owned a boat. So we both met up at Sebago Lake in Maine. It's the second largest lake in Maine at about 30,000 acres and the deepest at 316 feet 0r about 100 meters.

We boated all over the place but ended up off a public beach where we anchored for lunch and jumped in the water. Unfortunately, I forgot to empty my pockets and ended up losing my wallet in the water. Aww crap, new license, new credit cards, there was probably $200 in there. I assumed that was that. Nope.

About 2 weeks later I received a letter in the mail from a father whose kids, a son and daughter around 8 years old had somehow found my wallet. I thanked him and told him to take the cash and divide it equally between his two kids and mail the wallet back to me.

I received the wallet in the mail eventually with everything intact. The guy refused to touch the cash even though I had specifically asked him to give it to his kids as a reward for doing the right thing. There are some good people out there in the world. And I assume his kids grew up to be adults with decent values as well.

That is a very entertaining story!! Very generous of you and the guy definitely had a high moral code. Thank you for sharing!

I went to the beach after work. I was wearing shorts and had my wallet in my back pocket. I went home after a couple of hours for dinner. After dinner I realized my wallet was missing. I walked don to the beach to look for it. The tide had come in so where I was sitting was under water. I thought I would never see it again but I got up early the next day and walked to the beach at low tide. The wallet was exactly whare I had been sitting the day before. I took everything out of it and spread it out on the window sill and dried it.

One time I was at the UPS Store getting copies made and buying some things and I had my wallet on the counter and put my purse on top of it.

They handed me my copies and I walked away

It was about 10. minutes later when I couldn't find my wallet. We rushed back to the UPS Store and they gave it back to me.

Thank goodness!!

Yes in college when I was really drunk I lost my wallet and it was left in someone's car I was riding in. Luckily I was able to retrieve it that same night because it had my permit and money in it.

I forgot my wallet after having paid for a coffee. I left the terrace and left my wallet on the seat of my chair. It was still there when I got back a few minutes later.

I threw away the car keys when I took some cardboard boxes to the garbage. Luckily, the specific bin for cardboard and paper was full, so I had just deposited my boxes next to the bin. No harm, they were still there.

I've lost quite a few things in my life... more than once... my wallet a few times, my keys more than a few times, and my phone a few times. It's never fun when it happens and you have to replace them, but worse things can happen. I look back on it nowadays and think Meh

I lost my wallet with driving license and bank cards in Berlin a few years ago and had no access to money and was bike camping. So I had to call my wife to book a ferry and make my way across the Baltic to get home

I once left my wallet on top of the gasoline pump after filling my car up. By the time I realized that, it was far too late to do anything about it in terms of going back. However, the nice gentleman did find my wallet and mailed it back to me with all the money that was in it included. I was very grateful.

My keys, luckily I have a spare car key and set of house keys, so I just used those until I found my original keys. It took a few days. Kid had hidden them in a drawer.

I lost my wallet last year. I called the grocery store id gone shopping at and they didn’t have it. 2 weeks later the grocery store called and they did have it. The person i had talked to did not check the safe where it had already been placed.

I lost 1 wallet in 7th grade that fell out of my pocket while riding my bike. I lost one set of keys about 26 years ago and found them in my friend’s couch a year later

Car keys... too many times. I have learned to put them in the same place when I get to my dorm room or when I am home visiting
