Speaking of lost wallets, once I left my bag, with everything in it, on a train platform in London. A week later I got it all back, cards, money, ID, the lot. One of the locked zips had been slightly damaged by a security person who must of checked it for bombs etc. On another occasion a year previously (and the reason why I later started to carry a bag), right in the middle of London, I stepped off a bus that had just lurched around a corner before I stepped off. Five minutes later I realised my wallet was missing and it had probably fallen out of my pocket when the bus jolted. All I had on my person at that point was my phone, no money, no ID or anything. I was due to visit some friends but they were miles away, and I was totally scuppered, I don't live in London. The only action I could think of was to walk to the bus terminus that was about five miles away though some very busy streets and lots of bus stops. About an hour and a half later I turned up at the bus terminus thinking there was a one in a million chance my wallet would be there. It was, a passenger had seen what happened and handed the wallet to the driver, who put into the lost property. When I made the enquiry, the guy behind the counter just reached under the desk and handed it to me, after checking who I was. Amazing, and enough to suggest making a charitable contribution to some good cause. Such luck is not always the case though, but I suspect some would not have even bothered trying. A little faith can be helpful at times. << London, England, Wallets returned: 5 out of 12 >> The Most Honest Cities in the World \| Reader's Digest (rd.com) I had a lot more then just $50 in my wallet if you include the ID and the cards. Going by the 5/12 figure there is a 17% chance that you could lose your wallet twice and get it back both times.
