It could happen
to each of us
Recently, on a walk along a wide square in the road, I found a wallet. He had a (current) female driver’s license as well as his insurance cards, bookstore credit, debit card,
I spent time with the phone book, finding others with the same last name; no help there. A house guest tried to find her on Facebook; no chance. As my visitors were on their way to Volcano, they helpfully followed up and left a note for his address. Bingo. We got in touch and everything went well. (Otherwise, I was going to take him to the police station.)
We all have insurance, hoping “it will never happen to me”. The moral of the story is this: make sure your phone number, or the number of someone who knows how to find you, is in your wallet, just in case. It wouldn’t hurt to have this detail visible on your phone as well.
