no one will believe what happened to me today!

as I was cooking lunch in the kitchen, unsuspecting ...

... my phone rang

a woman's voice told me ... 

... that my wallet had been handed in at the bank branch

and I could pick it up there

I felt quite hot

I hadn't even noticed it was missing

and I had put quite a bit of cash into it!

I quickly pulled out my handbag 

and searched for the wallet

it was true!  

even after rummaging through my bag for a while ...

... I couldn't find it

my money was indeed gone!

so I headed to the bank

and wondered where I had left my wallet

surely at the checkout in the supermarket

anyway, I arrived at the bank  

eager to find out ...

... where my wallet had been found

and, of course, if anything was missing

the bank clerk told me ...

... that a young man had dropped off the wallet

he had found it in the car park in front of the supermarket

and had actually wanted to take it to the lost and found office

as one does in such cases

it was too far for him to go there

and so he looked for another way 

to return the wallet to me

just imagine!

he was so clever

... that he looked for my name and my bank's name on the debit card

the bank would have the contact information for my name and could call me that way

he drove to the nearest branch of my bank

und dank der Computervernetzung der Filialen ...

... my phone number was quickly found

there I stood with my wallet

... which must have slipped out of my purse as I was leaving the supermarket

 luckily, everything was still there!

I'm sooo glad this episode turned out so well

unfortunately, I don't know how to thank the honest finder

perhaps he'll read this blog post

or someone he told the story to will read it

"Thank you so much, dear finder!"
