Dirty Money

After a hard night of group studying (FYI this involved very little studying and lots of Pizza Hut goodness), I was walking back home up Hyndland Street. Just as I got to Delizique, I noticed something lying on the ground that resembled a wallet: but as it was dark and raining, I just kept on walking.

However, being the ever inquisitive (nosey) person, I couldn't stop myself from going back to see it again. It turns out that it was indeed a wallet, and it was stuffed full of money. I stood over it for about a minute looking around, partly to see if there was anyone was frantically looking for a insanely full wallet and partly in case there was some kind of prank afoot... Thankfully there wasn't, I stuffed the wallet into my bag and made off into the night.

The wallet contained:

• a provisional driving licence
• a driving theory certificate
• two lottery tickets
• two bank cards
• £295

Being the kind natured citizen I am, I took it to the police today and (for my honesty) I get a reward of 10%... I agreed to this before I realised that it gets taken out of the money that I found, although I did console myself with the fact that this man is getting back £265.50 instead of the £0, had I been an arsehole.

Possibly the strangest thing about it was the man whose wallet I found had the same birthday as me, only he was 20 years older. This means he was exactly double my age when I turned 20.

How odd.
