So, a funny thing happened on the way back from my brother’s wedding. I was driving along after a fierce thunderstorm when I came upon a toll booth. It was one where you insert change into a bucket or use a coin changer. The car in front of me opens the door to pay with cash and I see something fall out of it. I thought it was a flip flop.
As I advance into the toll booth, I open the door, and sure enough it was the man’s wallet. What do I do?!
I hand the wallet back to my wife and take off after the guy. (Fortunately he was going the same way I was!) We lose him around a corner, but I’m pretty sure that I recognize his car up ahead. I catch up and go to pass him and my wife compares the picture on his license to the guy in the car. We roll down the window, beep the horn, and get him to pull over.
I get out, return the wallet, and am on my way.
What would you have done?

Wow, you did good!
We probably would have handed it to the toll booth people, being unsure of actually catching the guy and getting him to roll down his window for strangers in the first place.
Glad your caper was successful!

How very bold of you! (In a good way!) I probably would have just taken the wallet home and tried to find the man in the phone book. But if he wasn’t listed… I don’t know what I’d do then!
