Hurt my knee playing Volleyball today, and the wound sorta resembles a “crying evil eye”

Welp, just left work and as I left some poor woman lost her wallet and I’m the unfortunate individual to happen upon it. For perspective I have two jobs. One is my main job and the other is my side job which is a grocery store.
Unfortunately in this case it was the grocery store job which meant there is a constant flow of traffic and people coming in and out especially when they lost the Wallet at the entrance before you enter the grocery store. That being said I was just leaving from my shift and I stumbled upon the wallet.
One thing I do when I happen upon this stuff is check for a ID or Drivers License in the event that they’re still on property. It’s easier to match a face to the lost items in question without asking around if anyone lost it or some random person claims it’s theirs. So since I have a conscience I gave it to the person at Customer Services and told them where I found it.
Sadly this is where it gets complex. I have no clue how long this wallet has been missing and there is a very real chance someone took from it and then left it where they found it. So I’m fearing the whole no good deed goes unpunished thing now where I’m gonna get accused of stealing. While yes we have cameras the Wallet was in a blind spot so who knows.

I wouldn’t worry too much if it was a real criminal they they would have taken the ID as well since they can always use the personal information. If anyone did ask then say the truth, there was no money in it when you found it.
Most security guards don’t care enough and most of them know that the chances of someone returning a wallet being the same person responsible for the money not being there are slim. The only security guards who do care about crime are the ones that are only security because they somehow fail to surpass the shocking low bars it takes to be cleared for police work especially for the US.
I would go insane if I thought about the run-on effects of the stuff I do at my job. Yesterday I got a call from a man whose three year old daughter is stuck in Finland, the NSW State Office sent their passport to the mother’s Estonian address instead of the father’s address in Sydney (We don’t know why, Aus ppts. go to Australian addresses unless special request to be sent overseas) and now it is kind of floating in the aether. Literally all I could do for him is send in a missing in mail request and listen to him get more progressively desperate.
The same day I spent half an hour and made a friend of mine spend half of his appointed mourning break trying to troubleshoot a password reset only to find out we can’t salvage it because she failed the security questions meaning her account was voided.
I have had to tell at least 10 different compelling/compassionate applicants that we can’t make time for their appointment in time for their flights or for funerals so they had to do priority applications. I once had to track an overseas despatch for a woman who was stuck in Iran during the feminist protests. I once had a husband who needed to know how his wife and child could get Australian passports even though they were in Armenia where we have no embassy, I could only tell him they needed to head to Cyprus on their Albanian passports because the alternatives in terms of cheap cost were Russia or Turkey.
I had to reject two passport renewal applicants because their status as pre-1950 orphans meant they couldn’t give me their family name at birth. One of whom was a sovereign citizen who ranted for two and a half minutes before he hung up.
Sometimes shit is out of your very limited capacity to do anything. You have to do the right thing when you can and hope for the best.

Without actual evidence that you took money out of the wallet you have no risk of being charged with a crime.
Companies on the other hand don’t always play by innocent until proven guilty and often will let employees go without evidence of wrong doing bc they “don’t believe them.” I wouldn’t sweat it though. You know who you are. You’re the guy who actually turned in the damn wallet.

Heard a few helicopters passing by, and now there are police sirens. Can’t feel good about that a day after watching The Last of Us

For doing the right thing? You really shouldn’t be. Imagine yourself in the situation of loosing your wallet and the person that found it having doubts if he should go to the police to hand it over or not. Money or no money, ID cards / drivers licenses are a hassle to get replaced (at least over here 
)

The Money is my reward for finding your wallet and returning it to you, thats how I see it.

In his situation I’d prefer to give a statement over refusing. Especially with a mostly unsolvable crime. What’s really dumb is that he couldn’t just make a statement remotely or in person right there, but I’m assuming the police showed up.
@Swangtheugly did the cops show up to your work and ask you to make a statement or did you just go there bc work told you to when the ungrateful person got their wallet back?

I got a call from the police last night and was asked to come in for a statement that same night since I live a few streets down from them. I gave my statement and that’s about it. I’ve been with this job for a few months and the managers stuck up for me saying that I don’t cause any trouble.
After I gave my statement that ends my involvement with them cause for what footage there is it’s beat for beat what I wrote in my statement.

Allow me to slightly amend @Quinn’s statement: best rule for life is to never talk to cops without your lawyer present. Like, ever. Nothing is “unofficial” or “off the record” with them. If they just want a statement from you for something as harmless as finding a lost wallet, they’re prodding you for info to see if they can get you to slip up and even imply you had something to do with it, and they’ll ask you to come see them for “follow-up questions.” Don’t talk to them without a lawyer anytime you can help it, @Swangtheugly, and only say what your lawyer tells you to say, and exactly how they tell you to say it. The peak of my official education was a degree in criminal justice, so trust me on that if nothing else.

People suck. This person made you go through all that and now next time you see a lost wallet you may want to go “oh look who left this garbage on the ground,” and toss it into the closest bin 
I know that’s not you though. You’ll turn it in again.

So, while nothing works out with a job yet, we’ve booked a trip back home for a couple of weeks in mid-March.
Main reason is because we need to make new international passports, old of which will expire this December. And the quickest and easiest way to do it at home.
At the same time it’s a good chance to visit home and all the relatives.
We booked both way trip already, but I feel I won’t want to leave home again 
Though I like it here in UK, want to stay and all that, but leaving everybody behind during war for the second time is not that easy and they still don’t express any desire to come.
Though they agreed to make international passports too. Maybe it’s a first step. Maybe we’ll persuade them in person while being there.
And also while being at home I’m planning to buy a powerful gaming laptop, so if everything goes well, I’ll fully come back to HITMAN in April

Tried some vegan birthday cake bought to accomodate my dairy-intolerant niece this weekend, and all I could think about was dates and bamboo milk, cardboard and honey.
(It was actually kinda yummy.)
