Comments on: TKOG who … tracks you down for your own good http://www.notthatkindofgirl.net/2009/12/01/tkog-who-tracks-you-down/ So what am I doing today that I've never done before?

Since this happened, I’ve had several bouts of undeserved good fortune that I, like a chump, tried to reverse. Hint taken, universe. I’m not saying the IRS made a little mistake with my tax return, but if they hadn’t, I would have stopped trying. [...] [...] NTKOG #69: Givin’ back the “Bank Error In Your Favor” card.

I once lost upwards of $2,000 in endorsed checks (!!!) on a five-block walk to the bank (I know! Just like stupid, silly Uncle Billy in <i>It's a Wonderful Life</i>! I still can't believe I did it!) and some insanely kind woman found the checks, tracked down my phone number from 411, and called to let me know she had them. I'm probably still trying to pay back the karma. Quick, someone lose their wallet in front of my apartment building... I always think it’s a good idea to err on the side of samaritanism.

Although, to be fair, your wallet somehow ninja-ed its way into the middle of one of my SAT prep books! Very scholarly wallet, sir. hahaha, a nice reminder that back in CA I should have become the kind of girl who cleaned her car more often than once every six months.

Kudos to you for bothering with it at all. It's not really important that you didn't make contact with the intended person. I am a firm believer that if you do something good, you will eventually be repaid for your good deed (or attempt of a good deed). Way to go. Kudos to you for bothering with it at all.

But at least I didn't have to replace my driver's license, etc. Once I lost my wallet, and some Awesome Kind Of Girl returned it to me JUST after I’d cancelled my cards and ordered new ones.

As a life-long loser of stuff, I totally feel that. In undergrad, I lost my various cell phones so many times that I programmed in my bff's number under the name "If Lost." Miraculously, my phone was returned to me every. single. time. People can be great, huh? Yes! As a life-long loser of stuff, I totally feel that.

I have had a lot of stuff stolen from me and I have lost even more (i lose everything!) ... Just in the last 2 months I've had my wallet and my visa returned to me from a stranger! I will never forget it either! Just because your good deed didn’t pay off this time, at least you tried!

Replacing your license is by far the most irritating part of losing a wallet (especially the paranoia of driving around without a license while you wait for your DMV appointment!) -- that's really awesome of him to do the legwork of finding you to save you the trouble. Stories like that give me some faint, glimmering optimism about the human condition. :-) What a nice guy!
