I had a situation where I had left my wallet in a cab, and didn't even realize it!
10 minutes after cabbing it back home, my doorbell rang. At the door was the cab driver with my wallet in his hand! I had a little over $100 in my wallet, and to my pleasant surprise it was all there. I tried to offer the cab driver $20 to cover the cost of driving back to my house, and potential lost business during that time... However, the good Samaritan politely refused to take my money. I shook his hand, thanked him, and wished him all the best.
A similar wallet loosing situation happened to a friend of mine some time ago. I think this was the first Ascension boat cruise, and my friend's wallet had gone missing later in the night. The wallet contained a large sum of cash probably around $150, so he totally expected the money to be a write off. When we got back to port, my friend had asked whoever was behind the DJ booth if anyone turned in a lost wallet, and sure enough someone did! The wallet was returned to my friend WITH cash and all. As we left the boat my friend let out a big "God bless those ravers!", and I think various references to PLUR were mentioned as well. I doubt something like this would ever repeat it's self in the club scene these days.
I can get jaded and cynical at times, but things like this restore my faith in humankind.
