Yesterday I found someone’s iPhone 14 Pro on the side of the road. Front and back glass were smashed, but the screen and cameras were fine.

Then, 4 hours later, I found someone’s money clip on the ground with a couple hundred dollars in it, and an ID card from Louisiana…

The phone is back in its owners hands, and he was so grateful that he insisted on giving me some money for finding and returning it. I told him “naw, I don’t want money, I would want someone to return my phone too”, but he just held his hand out with authority and said “I must!” And handed me some money. I put it in my pocket without looking at it, cause that’s what you do when someone tips you, only to discover when I got home that he gave me a hundred dollar bill. No way would I have accepted $100 had I known! I thought it was like a $20.

So now I feel bad because I accepted money from a stranger, and also I cannot contact this person whose money clip I found…fuck

So here’s the conundrum… I wanna turn it in, but if I take it to the police, they’re gonna take one look at the Louisiana ID, take the cash, and pitch the rest into the garbage. Plus, if YOU lost your money clip, would YOU go to the police lost and found? I sure wouldn’t. I’d just cancel my credit cards and count it as a loss…

What would you do????

With the ID I’d say cashed a check and riding the bike to buy groceries or something they needed.

Oh I’m jaded alright. Also have lost cash. And we know how that sucks. When we drove over to get my lift I thought I lost the cash. Neither of us got out of the truck at this point. It was in a cargo pocket in my shorts, smh. I’d checked there several times btw.

Made me reconsider my not smoking. Which I can no longer do due to the serotonins released by smoking. (As I eat half a medicated chocolate bar)

I hope you figure it out and by all means keep us in the loop :hug:


I’m about to pass out now

Let’s not get twisted here, lol, if I cannot find the rightful owner after trying everything possible, I could benefit very much from a little added cash, especially around this time of the year. I may live in Cali, but i’m poor as fuck, :lol:

Also, no guarantee they are homeless, that’s just the assumption I’m making, haha

Yeah, this seems to be the best idea so far. I’ll make up a flyer to post when I ride over there in a few minutes, just waiting for the ebike to charge up a tiny bit more

I wouldn't mention the $$ or everyone and their brother will be bothering you. I would ask the person that can identify the ID if they lost anything else with it.
Edit: If it is in a money clip have them ID what it looks like???

You may have saved their life!!

If no one claims it, I;d snail mail everything back except the cash....And then I'd head right to the dispensary as a reward for all my good efforts.

There's a few homeless dudes at the local grocery store...I usually give them a few bucks. The last time the guy opened his hand and he had a handful of buds....He said "someone just gave me this and I don't even smoke". He wasn't offering it to me though!! :lol:

Well, I posted the signs with a phone number. I’ll give it about a week…no one is still looking for their wallet after a week, right?

I also just rode up and down the bike path, asking homeless people if they know anyone in their community who lost a wallet(to throw them off, or if they said someone lost a money clip, I’d know it was more legit), but to no avail.

Quick question did you find the phone and the money clip anywhere near each other ?
