The wife and I had a weird experience finding a wallet a few years back.
--flew back to Miami from S.F.
-- between getting our bags and unloading the suitcases at the condo, we ended up with a woman's wallet.
-- Ecuadorian I.D. and about $2,200 in it
-- debate what to do, but ultimately take it to the police station
-- Police officer gives me a fuked up look when I tell him what happened. looks at the wallet like he wants no part of it
-- goes back and talks to other police folk and they tell me I have to take it back to the airport
-- some messed up jurisdiction thing
-- debated now if I should just keep the damn thing
-- god is watching, right?
-- get back to the airport, park, talk to airport security who guide me to lost and found
-- after 9 pm now, lost and found is closed
-- find an actual police officer, give my name, number, hand him the wallet
-- never heard back if she got the wallet or not
-- maybe have good karma now

I've had my lost wallet returned twice. With the money in it.
One time i left it on top of a public phone in a box out the back of nowhere.
An hour or so later I hadn't noticed it was gone still when the cops called me to say it was at a police station about 20 minutes drive away.
The people who had found it drove quite a bit out their way to take it straight to the police station.
