I once dropped my wallet in a lay by on the A65 near Skipton.
I knew it was there as it was the only place I had stopped, Friday on the way home.
There was about 100.quid in it, and in 1995 it was worth a lot more than now.
I got home and even went back in the car 90 miles but it had gone.
The couple who found it were going away for weekend, they found it, but with no address in it only the cash, a photo of my 2 young kids and a Poplars 2000 discount card.
They got home the following Monday to Bradford, rang Poplars who gave them my details (yeh I know 
) and they rang me up.
I picked it up in Bradford the next week at their home, they were really nice people. I offered them some money and they refused, they said it was the pic of the 2 little kids that made them feel sorry for me.
The irony was that they then told me the weekend off they took turned out to be in my home town.
If my address had been in it they would have dropped it off for me.
