Hello Wallet

Well, hi! Some of you may have read about my misfortune with my wallet last week here.

This is how that story ends.

I got an email from "DPS Lost and Found" on Friday.

I must've just skipped over it because I get emails constantly.

I mean constantly because of my job.

Well, Sunday as I  more methodically checked those emails, I opened it. 

And BAM.

It was telling me that a wallet was turned in that may be mine.

Well hopefully it had my ID in it.

So, this morning I made sure to leave for class a little early to make my way to the little police desk in the union.

On the way over, I was thinking that maybe my faith in humanity was restored a little.

I mean, someone turned it in right?!

But...why did it not get turned in until Friday if I had lost it Wednesday night?

Well, I'm all about giving people the benefit of the doubt so I was hoping everything was still in there.

Here's the good news:

IT WAS MINE!

I showed him my ID, took my wallet, and made my way to class.

Here's the bummer:

Someone took my credit card and debit card.

That little sucker.

Good thing I cancelled them real quick and they hadn't had a chance to use them.

Fortunately for me, and unfortunately for them, they left me the good stuff!

They let me keep:

my drivers license (which would have been $28 to replace)

my student ID (which would have been $15 to replace)

my gift cards

my yogurtland coupons for free yogurt

and everything else. 

*there was no cash in there*

The other weird part that is was turned into the AIRC on campus. It's a building really close to the union which is open 24/7.

My theory is that someone picked up my wallet from the floor. Walked outside. Took my cards. Dropped it in the AIRC. Someone else found it and turned it in.

Unless the person who took my cards turned it in to the other building when they were done.

It had to have happened fast if they didn't take the time to look in the little nooks and crannies for my giftcards.

I am just really thankful that I don't have to pay for my dumb mistake. 

I'm glad that someone turned it in.

Sometimes sucky things happen. And sometimes they turn out to be not-so-bad.

Keep your head up.

Look at the good things in life.

Take care of what you need to.

And enjoy the ride.
