Well today was a bit unusual. Was running 5 min ahead of schedule on the bike.

I found, by the bike path a nice bike bag. Hmm my powers of deduction say this has been left behind by someone having smoko at the half way mark to Dandenong. Hmmm its a nice bag be at least a hundred bucks worth, I better take it home and see if theres an address.

Well I hit the jackpot! Wallet, CASH, license, credit cards, clothes but no phone number!

So its off to the cop shop tomorrow morning..

Theres one lucky boy out there, we are a nation of thieves descended from convicts, anyone else would have swiped the cash and chucked the bag. Its a kids school route, so Im thinking it musnt have been there long, but I couldnt hang around.

Ive done the same thing myself, and got a bike bag, with bike attached returned to me within 24 hours when I was in Tassie once (long story#14), so I know the feeling. Its just a pity the poor sod has to suffer tonight.

I lost a bike bag another time, fell off. It had my wallet in it, and I was broke at the time. I knew where it fell off, raced back to the laneway and it was gone. The same blokes working on a car were still there, they had it for sure, but there was nothing I could do.
 

DA DAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Its being collected tonight. I rang a bloke on one of the cards who rang a bloke who rang another bloke who rang............. and tracked him down. I just spoke to him, hes happy and hes a pommy tourist, so he goes home with a good memory of Aussie!

Im pretty happy too! that was easy.

Finding the next lot of cash might be harder!
 

Hello, Mickk,

That is a pretty remarkable find. Hats off to you for the trouble you went through to return it.

I concure with the rest of the posters, If there were more honest people out there the world would be a much nicer place. Thanks for being one of the good guys.

We all know that sinking feeling when you realize you don't know where your wallet is, so you did a good thing and you will be rewarded somehow. I'll send you some good juju!
Okay, now go out and find some hidden pirate treasure! :icon_pirat:
