I don't suppose anyone has found a small blue wallet/season ticket holder around the First Avenue area?
If so can you please message me?

I think this is where I lost my wallet when I took my phone out to take this photo but no sign of it when I went back
I called at all of the shops on First Avenue and Holmcroft on the off chance that someone may have handed it in but no joy.
All cards cancelled now so this weekend could be a bit tight at Brands if the bank won't give me any cash tomorrow.

Wow, someone has posted my wallet through my door this morning whilst I was out.
They left a note saying they'd asked around locally but had only just realised that my address was on my driving licence.
All cards and money still there but no name or number on the note to be able to thank them.
Nice to know there's still some honest folk around isn't it?

I like to turn this on its head - i think in the circumstances 99 out of 100 people would do the same. I know i would.
Usual to think that honesty is the norm isn't it?

As much as I wish it was the norm I don't think it is these days. With so many scams and fraudsters around, I'm a lot more sceptical than I used to be.
To be honest I'd written off ever finding the wallet and was regularly monitoring my accounts for any unauthorised transactions.

I lost a wallet in Epsom in 1993. I left it on the roof of the car as I drove off.
The cops weren't interested in even recording the loss, when I realised it was gone, a few hours later.
It had £500 (of someone else's money!) in cash, plus all the cards, driving licence, etc.
Somebody found it in the road and, having discovered an address, posted it to me in Stafford, fully intact.

I found a wallet in the middle of a zebra crossing in Geneva whilst on a long weekend with my girlfriend at the time from Lucerne.
We walked miles at about 03.00 in the morning to hand it in to the nearest police station and everything was fine until my girlfriend said something in Swiss German. The police who had been speaking to me in perfect English could all of a sudden only speak Swiss French. I managed to translate that they were trying accuse me of stealing the wallet and only went to hand it in because I felt guilty.
After refusing to sign a statement they'd written that I couldn't fully understand they released us after several hours when I signed the statement as M.Mouse and my girlfriend signed as S.Doo.

I found a bank card in the Natural History Museum. I was going to hand it into lost and found until the chap next to me shouted at the top of his voice the name on the card. Luckily said person (well I hope it was him) was still in proximity and he was reunited with his bank card.
