My wife found a wallet.

120. Yes, more than once.

Once in FL when I was in my late teens. I drove to the address and gave it to the woman who lost it. She was quite grateful.

Another time it was a man's wallet and he met me to retrieve it. Another relieved person.

I have also found purses and returned them.

Personally, I had a thin long black wallet that I lost 4 times, but it was always returned. I dropped it once at Stern's (which no longer exists). I noticed it missing when I tried to pay for something at CVS and couldn't find it. The mall had closed by then, so I went home. When I got home there was a message on my answering machine. A customer had found the wallet. I went the following day to retrieve it (everything was in it).

Another time I dropped it at Macy's. Someone had returned it and it was in the lost and found. Everything was in it, except my monthly PATH train card that I had just bought the day before.

One night I left it on the counter at Quick Check and ran back when I noticed it missing right before they closed. The guy at the register saw me running in and waved it at me. Again, a customer had found it.

The last time I left it at the A&P. I grabbed my bags, but left the wallet behind. That time I thought I had really lost it. I even went to the police station to report it lost and was about to go to get another driver's license when the phone rang a little before midnight two days later. It was the manager of the A&P apologizing for the late hour, but he wanted to let me know that one of the employees had found my wallet hidden in a stack of newspapers. Some weasel had taken it and taken the money out of it, but left everything else behind. Since I had less than $5 in it, I didn't care.

That was it, no more black wallets for me. I went to Macy's and bought an apple green wallet. I've had it for years and have managed not to lose it even once.
