G54 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 While in Pattaya over the weekend my wallet fell out of my pocket and the first I knew about it was when I got a call on my mobile asking if I had lost a wallet. Luckily I keep a couple of cards in my wallet with my mob number on. The guy who found my wallet also found one of the cards and was able to phone me. He was in the same hotel 4 floors above me. I was able to get my wallet back before I knew it had gone. Strange, he lives in the UK, 10 miles from my home town!! Many thanks to him for his honesty. He saved me a lot of trouble. Life without money or credit cards (both K Bank and my UK visa card were in the wallet) would have been very difficult for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeungKen Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Wow a story with a happy ending and in Pattaya too ! What's your room number as I want to buy a lotto ticket this afternoon ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattaya_girl Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 What a nice story with a happy ending - I hope you gave the honest man a reward of some sort, or even a beer maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G54 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 5016 It was 3 a.m. so, no I didn't buy him a beer. I did thank him and he seemed happy enough at that. I checked out the same day so never got to see him after that, else I would have bought him a beer or several. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 It's always nice to hear about something good happening once in a while. Best of luck to you and to the very helpful guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGinty Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 If I had found a wallet with a 'phone number in, I would have done exactly the same as this "honest stranger". I would like to think that many other TV members would do the same. Would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sommaz Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Fair play to that guy. I agree that it's always nice when something like that happens, as opposed to some scabby git stealing your money & mobile - which is often more likely to happen it would seem. I shall raise a glass to that mystery guy and his sense of honesty tonight. I can remember also a couple of years ago, there was that taxi driver who found a few thousand dollars in his cab, which he promptly returned to the owner.

britmaveric Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Had same sort of thing happen to me - lost my mobile heading to jetway. Luckily it was on and not password protected. Lad started phoning my contacts letting them know I had lost my mobile - ended up calling a mate and got chatting with him. Got his address and mailed my mobile back.

G54 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 I admit I would do the same as this guy did. But all the same it is nice to be able to post about someone who is honest and upstanding regards the wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaansinatra Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 it's so sad that we expect people to be crooks; we expec t people that find a wallet to steal the money in it so we're shocked and surprised when someone actually does what a human is supposed to do. too bad it's not the other way around and we're shocked and surprised when someone commits a crime like they do at the Shell gas station, or like what they do at homeWorks.

soihok Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) I left a bag containing my own, my wifes and daughters passports, ID cards, birth certs along with house deeds(chanute) marraige cert in a taxi outside the Brit Embassy in Singapore. Did ,nt know the taxi number only the company, only because a passing Fillipino girl could tell me which company ran blue taxis. Good old fella turned up 10 min later after I called the company. I returned a wallet a few weeks ago that I found in the car park of the Condo I live in to its owner. I have lost allsorts of things as well as being robbed so I know where I stand. You have to do the right thing always. Next time it may be you. Edited August 5, 2008 by soihok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
