Honesty and Police efficiency

This morning Mr Clumsy went to a local shopping centre. Heīd been gone about half an hour when I received a phone call from the Guardia Civil, whose location is approximately 20 minutes drive from us (on a quiet day). The Guardia asked for Mr Clumsy, I told them he wasnīt here but that I was his wife. ( I admit I was wondering what heīd been up to !). However Mr Clumsy had apparently dropped his wallet in the car park of the shopping centre, some honest person picked it up and handed in at Lidl. Lidl contacted the local police who went to Lidl, collected the wallet and took it to the Guardia Civil station at the place where they contacted me from.

We do have a local Guardia Civil station in our local town, but all things such as this are dealt with elsewhere. Everything in his wallet was intact, fortunately I make him keep phone numbers in it too. There canīt be anyone worse than Mr Clumsy for losing things, heīs hopeless with phone numbers, he rarely if ever uses a phone, heīs a bit deaf and canīt hear properly when on the phone. So at 4 p.m. he can go and pick up his wallet. He couldnīt go immediately because they deal with other things during the mornings, but thatīs okay.

Iīm just impressed that they called me so promptly and very
politely, telling me I was welcome and they were happy they could help.

Re: Honesty and Police efficiency

That was lucky , my brother once lost his wallet and it had been handed in at a village Cop shop , we walked the 5 miles there only to be told he had to have some ID to prove he was who he said he was ,he didnt have ID on him .So the following weekend we went again walking there ,
So be sure Mr Clumsy has his ID.

No worries Eliza, Iīve sent him off with his passport. Hopefully he wonīt manage to lose that as well.

Thank you for posting that clumsy I was having the sort of day I was beginning to think no one was honest anymore but that's restored me a bit.

It quite cheered me up too Julie. Not that Mr C lost his wallet, honestly he is the most careless man I have ever known, but the fact that some kind person picked it up and handed it in completely intact. That and the fact that the Guardia were so prompt in calling me. Mr C now has his wallet back, he told the Guardia man on the desk that he couldnīt believe just how quickly his wallet got from Lidl carpark to the Guardia station a good 20 minute drive away. At the time I got the phone call Mr C hadnīt even realised heīd lost his wallet. Unfortunately we, nor they, know who handed it in, but we would have liked to thank them.

That's a lovely tale, Loretta! Well done to all involved, in reuniting Mr C with his wallet.

What a nice tale for a change instead of so much doom and gloom clumsy.
So glad it turned out well.
