wherein she becomes a sleuth
life is filled with choices
make one or another
it can lead change the dynamic of your day or even your life
wednesday morning
i did what i usually do
i checked the subway app
it can be like rolling the dice
local wasnt due for 11 minutes
the walk to the express is 7
a no brainer
a nice morning as well
crossing 79th street a line up of trucks caught my eye
to get a better shot i crossed broadway
then
i noticed
a large trailer used during movie/tv shoots was there as well
backing up
i watched
would it hit the street signs?
nope
then something on the ground caught my eye
a wallet
i picked it up
looked around
there was no one to be seen
i opened it
found the driver's license
of
a woman living in new jersey
i decided to look into it further
once i got to the office
thats how my sleuthing began
a very long somewhat convoluted story
somewhat shorter
is
i didnt actually locate her
but
after reaching out in various ways
oh
if you ever find a wallet
and
think
' i will call the credit card company
and
they'll reach out'
forget it
they wont
they dont
they do put a stop on the card
but i digress
i did reach her ex
he in turn managed to find her
it seems
she stayed in the city overnight
in a hotel across from where i found the wallet
she got
(his words)
hammered
was still recovering
still in the hotel
would i
could i
drop the wallet off at the hotel
i would
i could
i did
oh
a word of advice to all of you:
put a card
with
your name and a phone number
in
your wallet
should you ever lose it
an honest person will be able to find you to return it
do not
do
what
the woman who lost the wallet i found did
and
keep all
your passwords
pin numbers
bank and credit cards
together
in your wallet
she was lucky
someone else less honest than i
found her wallet
they could have emptied
her bank account
and
used her credit cards
just sayin'
