Darth Slayne Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 Like Darky, I too keep a constant tab on where my wallet is. However, sometimes even the most cautious of us are prone to mishap sooner or later. I lost mine in a busy city street a few years ago. Inside was $150. Now the only reason I had lost it was because I was wearing a jumper (sweater, windcheater..whatever ) tied around my waist. I went to put it in my back pocket but it carelesly wound up beween my pocket and the jumper. Only when I went to buy something did I notice that it was gone. I retraced my steps, looking everywhere but found nothing. Then as a last resort I went to the nearest police station to report\enquire as to the fate of my wallet. And what do you know? It was handed in to them by some anonimous person only minutes beforehand. Nothing was missing, much to my relief. Ever since then I have thought twice about taking the money from a wallet that I have found (hey, at least I'm honest ). I suppose its my way of saying thanks...

WolfmanNCSU Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 I have never lost of dropped my wallet anywhere without me knowing about it. I always keep my cell phone, leatherman, and change in the front left pocket - my keys in the front right - and my wallet in my back right. Plus my wallet contains everything in it. But I have a back up photo copy of everything in it on file stored safely in case I need it, along with numbers to call. Its kinda like a "In Case My Wallet is Missing or Stolen Proceedure."

I hate trying to unbotton them... Not all have them, either. Cargo pants are the way to go. Thick cloth, nice velcro or buttons... Yeah. I'm sure the guy that invented those is/ was a millionaire.

ZePhyR Posted January 30, 2003 Share Posted January 30, 2003 I lost my wallet up on the mountain snowboarding once. It had like 50 bucks in it, with all of my ids, cards and personal stuff. Luckily, within 20 minutes of losing it, they called me to the vistor center where somebody returned it with everything still intact. whoo.

TheHobGoblin Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 I never lost my wallet. I always check my pockets. I carry 5 bucks for lunch. I collect my allowence somewhere else. But I'll rather put it in my wallet. All I ever lost was my metro card. It was due to expire anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jed Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Originally posted by Darklighter I always wear jeans when I carry my wallet, front right pocket. Dunno why, but it's always the right pocket lol Same for me. It's right or nothing. I've never lost it, but I had somebody try to take off with it. I had about 200 bucks in there, so I ran after that guy fast. And I got him too, so no money lost. But I nearly killed myself running that fast. I can remember what I yelled too... "Hey you ****ing *******! Get your candy ass back here!" And thus began a 15 minute run through a high school. EDIT: Glad you got your wallet back! Sucks about the cash tho....
