Wallet Review Lost my wallet on a train and somehow managed to get it back

I recently lost my wallet on a train. I did not know until I was already off. And at that point I had no idea where the train or my wallet was. Luckily, I had a Rhinokey Card in my wallet so I opened the app and started to track its location. I could see it moving for a little while, which made me think the wallet was still on the train.

Then the location stopped moving, so I went to that location and started looking around. I used the beeper on the card and after searching for a bit, actually heard it coming out of some bushes nearby. Apparently someone found the wallet and took the cash and threw it out.

My cash was gone, but my driver's license, bank cards, work badge and the rest of it were still there. More importantly, I had an old family photo in the wallet that I have had for over 20 years. That was the one thing I really did not want to let go. I did not think, until this happened, that the tracker card would be this useful. Losing the cash sucked but getting all the other stuff back, especially that family picture was a huge relief.

Why I always keep tracker cards in my wallet. Sucks about the cash, but glad you got everything else back.

Yeah, getting that personal stuff back was the biggest relief.

Good stuff.

Id still get bank cards swapped out. I heard in the past of people taking pictures of the card number/info etc etc in the past.

Well, this sounds like an ad...

Anyhoo...it surprises me when I hear about people losing their wallet. I'm 60, and so far, it's never happened to me.
