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.

Playing advocate of the devil here, but maube the guy isn't trying to screw OP over. It's possible that some other person found the wallet first and took out the 400 dollars. In this case he's an idiot for thinking the thief of his money would return the wallet, though. And if this isn't the case, then this person disgusts me. When someone goes out of their way to help you ou should be thankful, don't try to squeeze some money out of them.

FMl. The owner should be grateful, but shouldn't you have turned the wallet to the police first?

Why was my comment thumbed down? It is true. Most police departments won't use a lie test over this issue..

Lol he cant lay any charges even if he wanted to. There's no proof that the op took any money even if he did. There's no case simple as that, op shouldn't worry. And they wouldn't use a lie detector test for a mere $400.00 that's just silly.

And this is why you just return it to the local PD. That way you avoid situations like this.

Jeez, people just can't appreciate peoples niceness anymore can they? Always have to take advantage. Don't give him the 400 dollars I highly doubt there was money in it to begin with!
