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 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 felt a tug on my backpack and found my wallet missing. A nice stranger pointed to a guy running down the stairs and said "There goes the guy who took your wallet!" I ran to catch the supposed offender. The 'nice' stranger was the actual offender distracting me as he got away. FML

Today, I won $50 on the lottery. On the subway home, I checked my pocket to see if the money was still there. A very professional man in a suit yelled, "Hey, that's mine!" I got several dirty glares. I'm such a pathetic wimp that I gave him the money. 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 saw a cute guy on the bus. I smiled at him and he smiled back. After a couple of stops, he got off the bus. He bumped into me, turned around, apologized, and winked. I stood there feeling good about myself. Then I realized he stole my wallet. FML

Today, a passenger in my taxi left without paying. They left their phone, so I posted a message about it from their social media, exposing them. Turns out they'd stolen the phone from someone else. I ended up getting arrested. FML

Today, on the crowded train, a cute guy called me over and told me to stand next to him because there were less people there. We started talking, but he left before I could get his number. Just when I was about to tell my friends about it, I find out that he stole my phone. FML

I would tell him go ahead and file charges- he didn't SEE you take the money, which you didn't, and he can't prove it. End of story. This is why people don't do nice things anymore- cuz it bites them in the butt.

The cops will figure out that a thief wouldn't be calling the guy to return his wallet. On the other hand, you've now got the asshole's address and phone number. Useful information for pranking his bitch ass later. Way later.

I call fake. 1: How did you call him? Who leaves their phone number in their wallet? 2. Why wouldn't you just mail the wallet to the address on the drivers' license, with no return address?

#23 you’re an idiot, a lot of people including myself leave their phone numbers in their wallet, why? 1. because it’s smart and i know if i ever lose it, people like OP will find it and call me to return it out of the goodness of their heart. 2. who the hell would ever mail a wallet back to a person? I never heard of that, if the owner was smart they would have just left a number inside, if not then too bad for them.

1 - Business cards, or a number left inside. My number is in my wallet (not incase I lose it, because I forget it) 2 - Why would you pay to mail it? It's probably about $5 to send, and you're doing them I favour by even telling them.

Tell him go ahead and file, and in return You are going to sue his ass for defamation of Character. Similar happened to me. At the mall in the food court, I found a purse belonging to a 16yo girl. I called the home number on the cellphone. She and her mom come to the mall to pick it up, taking an hour of my time to do it. The Mom looks inside and said "There was $20 in there, give it back. I stood up and Yelled "No Lady, I'm not interested in having Sex with your Daughter for $20!!!" (teen Prostitution is a problem at that mall). I walked away and as I was leaving I saw her being grilled by 2 mall cops.

honestly, if you end up going to court, you most likely wouldnt get charged guilty for that. you FOUND the wallet. someone else took the money. theres nothing stable to pin you for it. just sayin.
