GREAT linkie thingie, subby!

The guy owns a detail shop...he might very well make a lot more more than said douche, anyway.

Well, in the douchebag's defense, he DID have to get to the gym in 26 minutes...

psychicdeath99: About a year ago, my wallet fell out of my pocket as I got out of my car. About an hour later a little old lady from an apartment downstairs knocked on my door and gave me the wallet.

I looked through it and saw that the little bit of money, but more importantly my driver's license, credit cards, etc. were still there. I thanked her and commented that I was happy nothing was taken, and then had to reassure the little old lady that I wasn't accusing her of anything. My thought was that someone else could have seen it first, emptied it, and then tossed it back down for her to find.

The leather wallet I use to this day I found on the ground in a parking lot about 7 years ago totally empty. I hope whoever lost it/got robbed didn't lose too much. It's a pretty nice wallet.

Soo... you kind of come across as a bit of a douche, don't cha?

The point being, the first thing you say is "Thank you so much!" before you start checking for your goodies.

/I'm assuming you didn't say "thank you" right away because that's the way you told your CSB.

This one doesn't sound so bad... depending on how the guy said it you know.  Did he say it in some overly accusatory manner, or in more a of "wow I hope my money is all there!" kind of way.

Could go either way...

1) Why was the guy carrying around an envelope with $1200 in it?
2) Why did he not constantly keep aware of it?

/methinks this story involves drugs or would in the near future

I'm glad douche-beard got a swag-bag for his efforts.

Eww and/or gross.

But what happened to the $1600 before the douchebag lost sight of it? Was the $2300 well hidden or was the $2500 in plain sight?

He should get a job with the TSA. They seem to have problem with their employees not taking the money

Driving through my condo group one day I saw a wallet dead center in the road.  I parked my car and walked over to retrieve the wallet.  Inside was a drivers license with and an address in the group, someone must of put it on top of their car and drove off.  I drove over to the unit and knocked on the door, a woman answered and I handed her the wallet and told her where I found it. She took the wallet, turned and shut the door not a word to me.

You know who else had ugly facial hair...

Here I go...I'm gonna prejudge two people by the content of their character...

The car detailer voted for Obama.
The money loser voted for Romney.

Bet!

Even money on the car either being a BMW or a Saab.

If he doesn't have proof its his, dude could've just pulled it back and said "on second thought, I had this in my other pants right before I did the laundry." Not that I would, but that asshole might think differently next time someone tries to return shiat he can't keep track of. Probably at least 40% of people wouldn't have bothered to track the person down.

Of course, whether or not you feel you need that $1200 makes a big difference. I would try to return the money but only because 1200 doesn't seem like a ton of money to me when it might be to someone else (especially the type of person who carries it around in an envelope) whereas if I was $800 away from an eviction I might just thank lady fortune and apologize to the never-to-be-met stranger.

Wait, wait, I'm sorry, Fark...I'm calling Hitler out and he's not even in the thread.

*musical voice*

Oh HIIIIITTTLerrrrrr, your presence is reQUESTed!

The care is a lie.

No. Liberals only know how to be kind and generous wprobesport: taurusowner: The leather wallet I use to this day I found on the ground in a parking lot about 7 years ago totally empty. I hope whoever lost it/got robbed didn't lose too much. It's a pretty nice wallet.

Lol, why is that ew? It's a wallet, not anal beads.

I was expecting some over-the-top reaction like a surprise punch to the gut or the guy freaking out and waving a hatchet around. "I hope it's all there" is apparently a reaction so shocking and horrible that it merits a news story. Assuming of course that the facebook posting this article is based on is accurate.

Yeah, sounds like the guy got his panties all bunched up and his feelings hurt.  Or he was looking for a reward, and didn't receive one so he posted a whine online, pointing out how darn NICE he was.  Sometimes when you're a "nice person", to even insinuate something other than you being wonderfully nice is a huge insult.  If the guy had said something like "did you take any" or "how did you get that", then it would be offensive, even though they're valid questions.

I didn't touch your dough Neal. I'm a lot of things but I'm not a thief.

I lost a wallet while I was waiting for my ride home from work once. It had about $40 in cash, along with all the rest of the detritus. I'm pretty sure it just fell out of my pocket. I know who took it, since I had the wallet when I walked out of the mall, and didn't have it after getting home. The only possible person could have been the teenage girl who was on the bench next to me.

I only bring it up here because about 6 weeks later, I got the wallet and cards back in the mail, sans cash. It was addressed in feminine handwriting. I always imagine her mom catching her with a stranger's wallet and forcing her to mail it back.

Stupid new Fark interface.

\Or stupid drunk me
\\Or both

markie_farkie: Where the hell did you get the part about him cleaning the asshole's car,  Subby??

Unless the guy happens to drive the sidewalk in front of a hardware store..

Came here to say this.  Did you even read the article, subby?
