    Why did he take his wallet out at the lads' house?

    Stands to reason his keys and wallet were in his jacket pockets, so he lost them all as a set, rather than individually. Leave the jacket and you leave the lot. Rookie mistake, keys, phone and wallet stay in your pants pockets, you won't lose your pants nine times out of ten, and the one in ten you do your keys and wallet are the least of your concerns.

    He was at a BBQ in that area and said he'd come back to mine after. I was on the opposite side of the city at a friends birthday. Everyone left the BBQ at about 1am but I told him I probably wouldn't be home for an hour. This meant he had some time to kill (it would be pointless getting a taxi all the way out to where I was just to head home) so went for a drunken walk, as you do, and bumped into two friendly drunk lads who asked if he wanted to come back to theirs to kill some time.

    Why would he not just go back to your gaff and wait for you there? Or go get a kebab? Isn't that kind of the drunken instinct with these things, "jaysus I'm bored, OFF TO THE CHIPPER"

    Maybe you should put something up on facebook, or better yet here, if he has both first names and the general area surely someone will know them, tis Ireland after all

    You don't just go home with random strangers for a chat.

    Lads into weed and various drugs are always at it. They bond too well too quick and then sh*t hits the fan.

    You wouldn't, fair enough, but I know plenty of people that do and have done.

    I don't think the OP is likely to have any chance of her boyfriend retrieving his stuff though, best just chalk it down to experience and move on.

    Ah jaysus, here's some context for you so.

    He was at a BBQ in that area and said he'd come back to mine after. I was on the opposite side of the city at a friends birthday. Everyone left the BBQ at about 1am but I told him I probably wouldn't be home for an hour.

He rang me to tell me this and then put one of them on the phone to me.

    After about 40 mins there he left to get a taxi out to mine.

    Stranger things have happened. Now stop accusing my lovely boyfriend of cheating.
    How did he pay for the taxi if he forgot his wallet?

    But to a small party you would. E.g. if you had a lip on you for more booze.

    It sounds like he went for another "spit roast" after the BBQ.

    Between this and the thread about the two girls, quite a few people seem not to differentiate between "I suspect it's not true" and "I know it's not true".

    Stranger things have happened where exactly?

    Meeting people at the BBQ and going back to their place is itself unusual in Ireland, bumping into random strangers then deciding -- or even getting asked -- to their place for no reason is more unusual, forgetting a jacket in a house on what is a cold enough month of May is suspicious, and losing all of keys, wallet and jacket at once (I instinctively pat my keys in my trousers when I leave any house or work) and forgetting where all this happened is verging on ludicrous. He couldn't have walked far from where the bbq ended.

    Probably he was invited back for some "smokes" and was robbed, and is telling a half truth out of embarrassment.

    Randomners in the street? Were they wearing a party costume?

    Your boyfriend is a ****wit, tell his mother she didn't do a good job about telling him not going home with strangers and ring the taxi company that he got as I'm guessing it's their.

    "We're heading to a party if you want to join us" is all that's required, no party costume (people don't wear party costumes anyway).
    I've definitely known that to happen on drunken nights out.
    Just giving the guy the benefit of the doubt. Without context I understood people not being convinced of the story, but don't see why others are so *certain* the guy was up to something either.

    Of course stranger things have happened. You'd swear the OP's story was utterly unfathomable, when it's pretty mundane.

    What an expression! :D

    Honestly though, one would swear that just because they've never done something, that's cool, grand, their own business, but to suggest that just because they've never done it that it's implausible that anyone else would do something they wouldn't?

    Of course people do stuff sometimes that no explanation would possibly make what they did seem rational. Sometimes the truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

    It's unusual. That's all we're saying.

    Forgetting anything about the area is odd too. As is paying a taxi without realising the wallet was missing. ( If he did notice the missing wallet at the drop off -- when he paid -- he could have asked the taxi driver where the pickup happened. )

    Lots of low probabilities.a more likely story here is he was abducted by aliens and dropped back to earth when they realised he wasn't the prime homo sapien specimen they were hoping for.

    What sort of phone does he have? You can track your own whereabouts pretty easily on either android or iPhone.

    Jesus that is interesting. It's got most places I have been in Dublin in the last month. Well then OP. Problem solved.

    Keep us informed.
