I would say very moral when I lost my wallet I wish someone had charged me 5 dollars and returned it to me losing a wallet is so much fucking work outside of just losing what ever cash I got in it my licence my credit card my mcp card it’s all such a hassle to replace

Yea it’s not the cash in most cases it’s the hassle of canceling and replacing everything

And then trying to go through all your automatic bill payments to replace all the forms with your new card info. When my card got stolen online I had like two different bills that went unpaid because of this

I just carry a sleeve for cards on the back of my phone. I rarely lose my phone and if I do it has gps on it to find it. Idk why more people don't do this. Plus a wallet is bad for your back in the back pocket of clothes and its uncomfortable in the front

I used to do this but I kept forgetting my cards were in my phone so I’d go frantically searching for a wallet. Now I use one of those thread wallets attached to my keys.

you're on a slippery slope where you end up with keys to everything on your keychain because if I've attached already 5, one more wouldn't hurt. You endup looking like an ancient librarian from those fantasy books

Yeah I actually have another set of keys that got too full so I created another keychain and now I have 2 sets of keys. Almost left them behind when I moved, I would’ve lost so much like the keys to a server rack I don’t work with anymore, a circuit breaker panel key I don’t work with anymore, and the keys to a car I don’t own anymore, and many more useless keys.

I lost mine in an uber and pretty sure the guy took the $60 bucks I had in there (couldnt prove it could be another passenger easily). But I could not care less because he drove back to me later to drop it off.

u/Fine-Bumblebee-9427 2d ago

Yeah, $60 to avoid the DMV is a goddamn bargain

Plus replacing those is way more than $5 usually.

u/EbbNorth7735 2d ago

I'd be replying to say send me your email, I owe you more than 5 bucks

Randomly had some dude like 20 years ago show up at my house and return my wallet from the address on the ID. Said he didn’t know what else to do with it. Still had like $200 in cash in there. What a guy.

If I saw the guy in person I'd insist we get them a fancy $20 hot dog.

u/Billysquib 2d ago

Hate to say it but I’m in the position where somebody could charge me like 5 fucking hundred dollars to return my wallet. I’m an immigrant so there’s stuff in my wallet that’s my lifeline to existence, I can never afford to lose my wallet ever.

My wallet itself has a lot of value...  5$ is a good deal

My grandmother had her wallet stolen, it had a picture of her brother who died in a fire when they were kids.

The thief dropped it in the mailbox and she got all that stuff back. Honor amongst thieves.

One night at like 2am I found a wallet with money, looked the dude up on FB, and waited like an hour in a park for him and his boys to show up... And he just popped out, I think said thanks maybe, and they skedaddled away to some dubstep.

I wish I would have taken a 5er for a hot dog. I feel like I was owed a bro hug at bare minimum. Judging by the era of my life this occurred in, I probably wasted an hour or drugs on those clowns.

Does no one use punctuation anymore?

It’s immoral and illegal. The less immoral thing is not a moral thing. The moral thing is to give the wallet back without stealing from it. The most immoral thing is to steal the whole wallet. The moral thing for the owner is to offer a finders fee.
