wallet

-- moved topic --

I'm sure you're just trying to get a rise out of me spadeboy, but anyway... I'll explain... I rang the bank as I figured they would have access to his phone number, I thought they would call him and let him know someone was trying to return his wallet, they asked me to provide all the details of the cards, which I did. I thought they were just making sure they had the right person, but then at the end, they said "right, we've cancelled those cards now..." I was really annoyed and said that I didn't want the cards to be cancelled, I just wanted them to tell him to contact ........ (his employer) that his employer has my phone number. The people at the bank said that it is standard procedure blah blah blah and refused to get in touch with him to let him know. I will say that in the wallet there was the means to access his bank as he had his number and code in there, and his birth date was on his drivers license. I thought he'd have got in touch before I handed it into the station, but no such luck. Glad it's out of my hands now...

I handed the wallet into the police station on Lordship Lane, after spending days trying to get in touch with this guy. I tried calling his work (had his swipe card in the wallet) and had to chase them up numerous times, his banks; who proceeded to cancel his cards and then refused to call him to tell him his wallet had been found. Great personal service eh?...Left an advert on Gumtree and here too. It had credit cards, bank cards, drivers licence, sim card, a wad of money, store cards... It wasn't easy trying to get a hold of him. In the end, I decided to hand it in at the police station. The queue was really long and the guy there said he'd been waiting half an hour - I felt like throwing the wallet in the bin at this stage as I had an appointment elsewhere. Luckily a copper came out and I gave it to her. If she didn't come out when she did, I probably would have destroyed the wallet and it's contents.

Good idea - I will hand it in there...

If you know this person ? please tell him to contact me via this site as I have his wallet and would like to return it to him
