I was at Lowes earlier to see if they had any of those PC routers posted in the bargain section. I left and went to the post office and when I went to pay I found out my wallet is missing!!!! Ran to the truck and see if it fell out inside and no luck. Drove back to Lowes and check the parking spot I was in, no luck. To the tool section (only section I went to), no luck. Asked the guy working the tool section, no luck. So I started leaving, feeling depressed I not only lost all the money, but would have to go through the hassel of canceling credit cards, replacing license, etc. I passed by customer service and thought I'd ask if anyone turned anything in, not expecting anything. And sure enough it was right there. I was so happy I almost kissed the lady at customer service. This just goes to renew my faith in people, especially with all the horrors you hear on the news.

I reject your reality and substitute my own. -
A really sneaky person would simply copy down your credit card numbers, 3 digit verification code on the back, DOB and address from your driver's license (maybe your SS too if it's in there) and then turn the wallet in to lost and found.
Just a thought, glad you got your wallet back.Don't be stupid, the universe is watching. -
Just to be on the safe side, you could call up all credit card co.s and ask for new cards, cancelling the current ones. the only hassle for you is the week's wait for the new cards to come in, but saves you a lot of second guessing. you can tell them you are just playing it safe; they'll be more than happy to oblige.
All that does not say you should not mentally thank the person who turned the wallet in; but just keeping your powder dry.
On the other hand, you could just keep an eye on your account online and immediately challenge anything wrong as soon as you see it. After all you don't need to have your wallet stolen to get your 'numbers' stolen. Lotsa other ways
: like the waiter who takes away your card at the restaurant, the online purchase you made at shady-joe-with-fantastic-deals.com etc etc.
I can't think of many ways the drivers-license could harm you; even with ssn, it needs a professional con-man to really use it to your detriment. And nobody who's shopping at any tool-retailer (like Lowes) can be that bad
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

It seems like every time I think the whole world's going to h*ll, something like this renews my faith in mankind. It's good to hear these things every so often.

Given the chance, I think "most" people have some level of morals or honesty ... but IMO I think it's something that seems to be erroding with each generation."Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn". by C.S. LewisComment
