    Dude was very appreciative, he was panicked because he had pictures and sentimental things in it. Did not offer a reward and we didn’t ask… I did hope. But I didn’t ask. Lol

      I’ve been on the flip side of this. You’re so panicked about getting your wallet back, and wondering if it was carelessness or thieves, that you don’t even think of giving a reward if you get it back.

      I think the worry about thieves also primes us to not want to give money, too, but that’s just speculation.

      I’ve also been the one delivering a lost wallet full of cash and got no reward, lol.
