Today, I found a wallet containing an ID card. I managed to track down the owner, who now is threatening to call the police if I don't return the 400 dollars that he insists were also in it. FML

Today, I found a wallet on the train. I called the owner, who said he would come around and pick it up. When he finally did, he looked inside and screamed that his money was missing, and that I was a dirty thief. I never took a cent. He's filing theft charges against me. FML
Today, I had gone to the store and bought a new wallet. 5 minutes later a security guard asks for my receipt. Turns out I had dropped my receipt. Some guy had picked it up and pretended I had stole his wallet. The guard confiscated my wallet because the guy had "his" receipt to prove it. FML
Today, I found a wallet belonging to some guy, it had $355 inside. Because he had his address written inside, I decided to return it, hoping for a reward. I drove for 40 minutes and finally got to his house during peak hour. All he did was say, "Oh, cool." FML

Today, I lost my wallet while out shopping. Panicked, I retraced my steps and found it at a store, turned in by an employee. Grateful, I opened it to find a note that read, "We left the money but took one dollar for karma." I checked. They did actually take one dollar. FML

Today, I misplaced my wallet. Fortunately, I knew exactly where it was. Unfortunately, I had just taken out the only form of picture ID that morning. I couldn't stop the finders from laughing as they saw my fake celebrity entertainment ID while I tried to convince them it was actually my wallet. FML

I could easily tell that you're a paranoid freak who refuses to help people because you think they're out to get you.

Isnt it just easy to deny it? He has no proof. He probably owes those 400$ to someone else.

Anytime you do a good deed, make sure the cameras are rolling so you can at least prove that what you say is true. Nobody tells the truth anymore. /sigh

why get a $400 prostitute when you can get a crackhead to do some freaky things for only $20

I would dial the police FOR him. He can't prove that you stole it. So tell him, "I didn't steal your money, but since you're going to threaten me, here's the phone." and call the police. He'd probably back down pretty quickly if you made him follow through on that threat.

Tell him to bring it on. If he files a police complaint, wait for it to be dismissed, then sue for harassment.
