The most amazing thing happened to me this weekend in New York: I lost my wallet. I had flown in on a red eye from LAX and landed, red-eyed, after a sleepless night, early Friday morning. I took a cab to my friend’s house where I had just one thing on my mind — sleep. What I didn’t realize was I left my wallet in the back seat of the taxi. My I-D, credit cards, gym membership (you’ll see why this was important,) and $500 in cash, all there for the taking. I didn’t realize anything was wrong until I woke up from a nap around noon, and got a voice mail from my gym in Los Angeles. The taxi driver had found my wallet, called my gym (after spotting the number on my membership card,) and a fitness instructor (who probably had never seen me since I haven’t been going to the gym lately,) informed me my wallet was lost but now it’s found. They gave me the taxi driver’s number, I called, and he B-lined it over to me.
An hour later, everything was back in my hands…Not a cent missing! The driver had said he wanted to make sure I got it back so I wouldn’t be stranded. Of course I recorded this awesome moment! What a fantastic start of my trip to this great city! For his good deed, I gave him $100 as a thank you!
