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 mins and finally got to his house during peak hour. All he did was say "oh cool". FML

Today, while at the mall, a lady dropped her credit card while in line to buy something. I came over, picked it up and gave it to her just for her to shove it in my hand and scream, "She's stealing my wallet! My wallet!" The police came. FML

Today, I found out that someone found my lost library card, and instead of returning it, took out multiple items. If they don't return them, I'm on the hook to paying over $100 for them. 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

Today, my wallet got stolen. I don't have a photo ID to get a temporary debit card, and since I don't have a debit card, I can't go to the DMV to get a new license. FML

Today, I went to the store to buy some groceries. Several hours later I realize that I can't find my wallet. After looking all over my house and then the store parking lot, I had my credit cards cancelled. On the drive home, I feel something under me. It was my wallet. FML

Let him call the cops. He has to provide proof that you took the money. Let him try to sue you also. Again, he has to prove you took it

Let him. He has no proof so his word is as good as yours is but yours is probubly better because you did return the wallet

Actually, I've heard of police doing things like that. Lie detector tests are inadmissible in court, but are sometimes used to help law enforcement determine whether or not to go ahead with criminal proceedings or whether to file charges at all.

The police won't b able to do anything bout it since he has no proof that 400dollars was in the wallet in the first place or that you took it

I hate people like that with a passion. You try and be nice and completely go out of your way to return this man's wallet and he tries to **** you over and get money out of you. I hope he burns in hell.

Very simple solution. Just drop the wallet off at a police station and say you found it. If you gave the guy your name or number, sorry but YDI, no reason at all to give him your information, regardless the police won't be able to do anything if he tries to make you pay back the money.
