I was in Toronto a few years back, it was about 11 at night and i find the nearest Atm, there was 2 people in front of me, a couple both in there 20's, anyhow there use the Atm and leave and im next. So there i am and when i go to the screen it asks me how much i would like to withdraw:eek: but i hadnt inserted my card yet, i withdaw $20 just to see if it works, it does. Im now thinking the couple must of left the card in the Atm, i take it out and look up and down the street to see if i could see them, i can see them in the distance so make a big sprint down towards them and tell them the story and give him back the $20:D. They could not believe how i was so honest, all i said was well im Irish.

"Why did you leave your card in the machine with the pin entered?'

"Well we are Canadian"

Only joking, fair play jonjo.

I left my wallet on a train in Wales and thankfully a very kind Jehovah's Witness from Liverpool found it and kindly posted it along with religious leaflets to me.

On another incident I left my wallet (very forgetful altogether) on a plane and realised it just as I left the plane and wasn't allowed back on, an airport official took my details in Dublin airport and said he'd get back to me, which he did and organised to return it to me. He demanded a handling fee of €40 in cash, he wouldn't take a cheque and unfortunately the €50 quid or so in the wallet was also gone from the wallet.

Just shows you, there's still some decent people and some cntus left in the world.

The night of my birthday I was at a concert and I found a phone. I picked it up and rang the last dialed number. Got through to the owner's brother who wasn't at the concert and he said he'd make the necessary phone calls etc. After about 15mins of no word I rang him back, told him where I was and he assured me the owner was coming. After 20mins my mates are telling me to just give it in somewhere. We waited and were quite annoyed when the owner barely acknowledged what we'd done and was way more interested in finding out if her boyfriend text her...

But later that week I was in the toilets of a nightclub in town and there was two lads checking themselves out in the mirror for a good while so me and my mate gave them a bit of a slagging and it was all in good fun. About a half an hour later I realise my phone is missing and I use my mate's phone to ring it. A lad answers and says he's in the toilets so I run in and its the same two lads! There was a bit of credit wasted but I didn't really care. Thank God those lads were so vain or I might never have gotten it back.

However, I do put it down to Karma that because I wasted more than a half an hour at a concert on my 18th, I got my phone back when I lost it in the same week

Walking down the Lewes road in Brighton one day when I noticed something fall out of a bloke's pocket in front of me. I took a closer look and it was £20. So I picked it up and gave him a shout. He turned around and I kind of jogged towards him to hand it over. He turns around and starts running! I was bemused, but I had nothing better to do, so I ran after him. I caught up with him just as he had his key in what I presume was his front door and handed it over. We were both out of breath, so all I could manage was "You...dropped...this" and got a "Thanks" in return.

Last orders in a pub in town one night, left my wallet on the bar and went back to my seat, was distracted by the creamy deliciousness of the pints i suppose, copped it about 5 minutes later and went up to bloke who served me, he had the wallet behind the bar, said some bloke handed it in and walked out the door, cards were left but money gone, not much about 100 maybe plus a lotto ticket i'd just checked that day and had 36 quid on it, was saving it till i felt lucky to re-invest! The bar man seemed on the level though to be honest, i'd say it was a punter. F#cker!!
