For one of your customer's honesty and your employees. Misplaced my billfold yesterday and eliminated every place I could have lost it except Walmart. Checked there this morning and there it was with all $11 and nothing missing.

I believe that 99% of Americans are fundamentally good, all flawed, but good at the core, they wont steal and would turn a wallet in just as yours was with no second thought about what the right thing to do is. This bears out my point Glad it worked out.

I had a similar thing happen at Walmart, I went thru the self serve checkout and punched in to get $60 extra, I left the money handing there. I went back after I realized my stupidity (it was over an hour), I figured I lost it. They had it ready for me and confirmed with security. Pretty great feeling.

I'm glad you got it back. Unfortunately, Dan, I know from experience 99% is way too high. We have a fairly high theft rate at the university...in fact, there was another attempted robbery the other morning. I say attempted because once the victim was on the ground, the would be robber went through all their pockets and found nothing. The kid didn't even have a cell phone to steal. Also, people forget things all the time at the gym. Yes, we do get things turned in and we lock them up in the safe until the owner comes for them...but the ratio of items lost to those turned in, is far less than 9.9:10

Wife left her Checkbook thingy with several credit cards and some cash at the Wal-Mart return counter a couple years ago. Didn't miss it for 2 days until we get call from Wal-Mart saying they had it.
I put a plastic chain on her checkbook to her purse. No problem since.
