So on the weekend my wallet went missing. Turned everything over in the house. Couldn’t find it, lost sometime on Sunday arvo – not on a drunken night out or leaping around at the footy. Gone in broad, sober daylight. Very disconcerting. During the afternoon, I’d driven down to Vic St and then to Vic Gardens in search of a Skype phone – out for about 40 mins. When I went to pay, wallet was gone.

Monday morning – canceled all the cards, applied for re-issue, went down to Vic Roads – new license, etc etc.

Fast forward, today: Envelope shows up in the letterbox, addressed to me. Inside – all the cards that were in the wallet, including business cards, receipts, credit cards and license. No note, just the contents.

So, my first thought – thanks. Second thought – OK you kept the cash ($200)… and the wallet. Third thought – Is this honour amongst thieves? Fourth thought – Are they lulling me into a false sense of security for impending identity theft? Fifth thought – I’m lucky I got anything back at all. Sixth thought – what actually happened? Did they break into my car (did I leave the wallet in the centre console), did I drop it in the street (feasible) or did someone lift it from me when they bumped into me?

Who knows. Whaddaya do? More care next time, better vigilance. One thing for sure, I’ve got this creepy kinda feeling…

Checkya later.
Fires out.
