[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 1703432, member: 29"]Couple of years back, we found a wallet on the bus. No cash, but lots of cards, including an Oyster and a driving licence. The licence had an adress in Wales, but all the other cards were local, WITHOUT addresses. So, I did detective work - this was eleven at night, but thank god for t'internet. Tracked down the girl's mama in Wales,phoned her, said nothing to worry about, but I've found your daughter's wallet. Mama said, in broad Welsh, that daughter had been to a hen night and was probably pissed as a fart. Five minutes later a VERY sloshed young woman phones me. I wait up while she walks two miles to get to me: no oyster card, so no bus. Wallet and girl reunited, she hugs me and staggers off. Two days later a sober young woman rings my doorbell clutching a HUGE bouquet and a box of chocs - she said her mama had brought her up to say thank you and in any event, mama was also very grateful. I still wonder how the hell she remembered where I lived. :)[/QUOTE]
