For some reason I am the finder of lost things, as I just found a wallet loaded with credit cards and ID’s on the pier by the sea.
A few months ago I found a backpack with an expensive computer and important papers inside. The guy gave me $50 when he picked up his computer, which was his work computer filled with years of work, but I didn’t expect to get any money. Now I have this wallet and just messaged the owner on Instagram so I am sure she will be by soon to grab it. The local contractor lost his keys and wallet and I found that too a few months ago. I’ve found a lot of stuff from people over the years and feel good when they come by and pick it up. I was doing an HVAC system repair job one time and I left my wallet with a bunch of money on the air conditioner outside. Luckily, the owner of the home found it and returned it to me later that day, which was a miracle to me because I thought it was long gone. I had my five weeks of pay from the local contractor shop where I work in that wallet and I thought I would never see it again. I gave the owner $100 for returning my wallet, which happened to have $2000 cash in it from a check I just cashed at the bank. I was so happy because I worked hard on ductwork those five weeks and had nothing to show for it when I lost the wallet.
