the cases of the missing walletses
Exhibit A.
Bill Fulton doesn’t remember losing his wallet, but its return helped him remember the past. The leather stayed smooth and the cowboy design unblemished. The zipper moved with ease. And when he looked inside, the contents brought back memories from 1946, when he apparently dropped the wallet behind the balcony bleachers in the Baker Middle School gym.
Exhibit B.
Money doesn’t grow on trees, but a tree-care supervisor in New York City’s Central Park found an old wallet inside a dead one. The park worker says he found the wallet last week under five feet of compost. Police tracked down Bendik the next day.
