I was looking for numbers ect, none to be found. He was not listed in information either.

On way back to town I stopped at the shopping center, it has a mailboxes etc. I got a small package, addressed it to their house on license, called the two main credit cards I saw and had them put a note on the account that I found this wallet and it was being returned. (yes I know they locked the cards). I wrote out a note, put it in with the wallet and took the cash needed out of it to pay for postage. Put the reciept in the package and mailed it to them.

Apparently it arrived same day that he got home. He did not know it was missing until in the car on way back home from long house boat rental. Was freaked out, specially since there was a house key in it. (had no idea what key went to). He called and told me all this and was very thankfull and kind. I figured that was the end of it.

About 4 months latter I got a christmas card in the mail from someone in Salinas. No idea, did not know anyone there and the whole wallet thing had left my mind. Inside was another thank you and a money order for 500.00
There was less than that in the wallet. That made me feel a little funny inside.
