There's hope after all...

Reading newspaper or watching the news can be draining. You read/see bad news everywhere and it can literally make you sick.

That's way it is such a refeshing to see a story about this guy who got his wallet back after 39 years! Yes, you heard it right: thirty nine years. And it is still complete with the $5 in cash and 8-cent worth of airmail stamps.

Apparently mr Schmitt left his wallet in a gas station. The owner kept the wallet hoping that mr Schmitt would come back and collect it, and that was back in 1967.

i guess back in the day, telephone wasn't that popular, to return the wallet in person was too much a travel, and there was no such thing called white pages :D
