I lost my wallet
Wow I’ve never really “lost” anything before. I’ve misplaced things in the past, I’ve pulled my hair out trying to find something, but eventually nearly everything I’ve ever “lost” has turned up somewhere.
Not this time.
On Sunday morning I discovered that I was wallet-less. On Saturday the last time I can remember I had my wallet was right before going to play basketball at the Newton Recreational Center. We were planning on having some company for dinner and so Eliza wanted some cash to buy a few things at the grocery store. I had exactly $60 in my wallet at the time, consisting of three twenty-dollar bills. I handed them to her and walked out the door.
Shortly before we were finished playing someone had mentioned we may need to chip in a few dollars to “rent” the gym. Full-well-knowing that I had just gave Eliza every dollar that was in my wallet, I didn’t even check my coat for the cash because I knew it wasn’t there.
We drove home. Life went on as normal. We had a great time with our company, and went to bed.
I’ve literally checked every possible place (even called the Rec-center in hopes someone turned it in and had the nice fellow working there “check around” for me) but I am still without my wallet.
That Saturday-afternoon there was nearly 50 people in that small gym. A pretty good balance between adults and children. It could have been that someone swiped the wallet, though that still does not seem likely to me since there were cell phones and other wallets that were out in the open while my wallet was tucked away in my coat with the pocket’s zipper-zipped. Even if someone did grab it, they’d quickly realize there was no money and drop it.
Since then no one has attempted to contact me. No one has tried to use any of the cards inside (though my bank card is being cancelled anyway). So I am still thinking that my wallet is out there, lonely, sitting either in a dark crevice at the Newton Recreational Center or on the side of the road somewhere after someone realized how poor I am and ditched the wallet.
Ugh.
UPDATE: I found my wallet.

Colin we make a wallet that doesn’t need a pocket.
This wallet you can just tuck over your waistband and carry cellphones and iPods in the pockets of the wallet.
Our objective was to keep all our stuff close because there are alot more thieves here. If you hit my email button on http://www.NuPocket.com I will send you a sample wallet.
Could you please give us a comment back on your site later?
Do you want simple black nylon? NuPocket

Once, someone broke into my car (well the car was open) and stole my wallet. I found out later that day when someone was trying to pay for beers with my card.
I found the car, but never found out who the guy was and never recovered anything else.
Maybe you’ll eventually find yours.

Linda: Thanks for the offer! I’m always willing to try new things so definitely send one along (I’ve already emailed you).
Josue: I hope so. Even if for just finally figuring out where it went.

Since my near disasterous experience in Vladivostok Russia last year, my wallet is this stupid clunky Franklin Covey planner, and being used to having it in my hand, there is no way for me to lose it now……..
