Transportation: It wasn't me

It wasn't me

By Shopgirl - 06/08/2009 13:14 - Australia

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 went to retrieve my stolen wallet from a train station. After I collected it, I returned to the place where I'd parked my bike, only to find that my bike had been stolen. FML

Today, I was on a bus and a man was feeling up my butt. I was just about to step on his foot when the bus stopped and he slipped out. Only then did I realize he'd stolen my wallet. FML

Today, I told a customer that we don't do refunds. He responded by throwing his wallet at my face and accusing me of stealing it. 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 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 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, 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

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

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.

Just let him. You didn't take any money, you won't get in any trouble. You did the right thing and it'll come back around to you. (:

Never do things to be nice. That is the bottom line. It always comes to bite you in the ass. People are too greedy now a days. Look out for yourself and your friends and family.

I don't know how it works in Australia, but I know in the US if you find a lost wallet you can just put it in a mailbox and it will be sent to the address on the driver's license... for next time...

http://www.fmylife.com/money/1852747 OP: I hate when people scam on others like that. If it had been any other person he would have never gotten the damn thing back.

If he does it won't matter. As it's been said, the person can't prove you stole anything.

Why would he assume that the person returning his lost wallet to him has stolen his money? Seems unlikely. Then again, now that I think of it that would be the perfect defense: "Why would I steal his money then return his wallet to him?" But then again a thief probably wouldn't even bother and risk theft charges...but yeah he can't prove it and there's no way you'll get charged with anything.

That's why when I find a wallet I put it in the blue USPS things and they just mail it to them.

This is why I stopped caring for the well-being of other people. When stuff of mine is lost or stolen, I never see the light of day of it again. And if I find something belonging to someone else, they're GOING to give me shit for it when I return it anyways!! The nicest thing I'd do it take the money from it and turn the wallet in to the cops for them to put up with. That's the NICEST thing I'd do. Second option is just throwing the wallet away or something.

...yeah, stealing the money from the wallet is really nice of you. :/ Seriously, wanna be nice without being bitched at? Find their house, put the wallet in the mailbox. Problem solved.
