So was at squaw today walkin to the bus stop, found a wallet but it had no id. had a ns sticker in it so im guessing it was someone here. any way its a worn out leather wallet got like 3 credit cards (bank of america) and a safeway card. about 30-50 dollers cash.

pm me if its urs and ill send it out.

dont want a reward just wanna help a ns out!

Just some advice on finding stuff with the intention of giving it back- should come as a given but might be new to some?

Don't give out vital information about it, let them fill in the blanks for you so you can be sure you're not giving it to a random fucker.

That being said, that's some real life karma OP, good job.

Go to the check out at your Safeway and just explain the situation in simple terms. Either that or just buy a pack of gum and use it. Ask for the phone number used on the card, and call it and let the guy know

try going to safeway and explain the situation and see if they can swipe it and give you the number. hopefully that works

I'd say just call Visa, and explain to them that you have their wallet with their cards and I bet they would figure out a way to contact them and let them know. Here's Visa's number:

you're a great person for being so honest, but if there isn't any ID on it, i'd drop it off in the bank where his cards are from, they'll contact the owner, so no hassle for you....

what you need to do is contact the credit card company and let them know that you have so and so's card, and have them contact him to let him know. They will most definitely have a call number for the client in their records. Cheers for helping a stranger out!
