Wallet found! [View all]

So, I'm out doing my litter picking thing, ( please, don't litter) and here's a fully loaded wallet behind a guard rail, off an exit. The owner was close, so after I got my quota, I went over to the address in an apartment complex. I went to the office and turned it in. While I was there, the manager told me that this poor kid had left his car running at a gas station, went into get a drink, and came back out to see that some thief had stolen his car. The wallet was on the console, ergo me finding it. No cash, but all his IDs, 3 credit cards and insurance card intact, and the manager said that he had just started a new job after the pandemic, and would be ecstatic about his wallet being returned. All in a day's work!
