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.

He just wanted to sue someone for some cash, that's all. He's victimizing you because he's an asshole.

that's true, and people even leave the wallet behind on purpose so they can do that.

If you have to hire a lawyer, you may as well sue (or counter-sue if he is pressing civil charges too) for defamation of character, cause those charges will not stand up in court, but you suing him might... this was either a set up or just some complete dumbass who doesn't realize that you wouldn't have called him if you found his wallet and took the money

If I see a wallet, purse, or anything else on the sidewalk, I just keep walking. A recent case in England (http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/92661/Student-arrested-for-being-honest) makes it clear that helping others is no longer worthwhile.

This is not a scam. Why would anyone do a scam with a 100% failure rate? He may press charges against her in an attempt to get the money back, but this case will never even get before a judge. He will present his case, and it will be turned down. Courts don't accept cases like this with absolutely no evidence.

Why would a thief return a wallet? He's an idiot.

Once a lady returned a wallet that was left at maccas where I work. When we gave it back to the owner, they said 100 dollars was missing. We checked the cameras, and the person who returned it had taken money out of it before doing so. People aren't very intelligent sometimes......
