You won’t see a more creative way of returning a lost wallet
Most people have some kind of addressed item in their wallets or purses, which is a big help if they get lost and are found by somebody who isn’t a thieving scumbag. But what happens if they have nothing but a bank card?
This:

Give that man a genius grant. People were impressed at the use of initiative and his honesty.
That's "MacGyver" smart.

My Dad found a Kindle.
No way to see owner's email.
Amazon support no help.
Owner had another device in her a/c.
He renamed the found device "Call XXX", and moved to "last position" of the book she was reading.
She saw prompt, "Would you like to resume from…?"

My daughter lost her bag with purse in while on holiday in Portugal. Someone found her through Facebook, messaged her and posted it back to the UK. We told him to use the money in the purse to post it, when it arrived it was all still in there. ♥️

Someone wondered about Simon’s expenses.
Did you repay the 4p?
