Got To Pick A Pocket or Two
It’s an interesting experiment: ditch twenty wallets around town—filled with cards, personal information, sentimental items, and a bit of money—and see how many come back intact. That’s what the Star did, with impressive results: fifteen have been returned so far, with the paper in the midst of tracking down the people who’ve called to say they found two others. (There’s even a pretty heartwarming Google Map featuring each location’s story.) But the funny part? One of the Star‘s drop locations was “the public reception area of The Globe and Mail.” And while the wallet did make its way back to the Star, it “was missing the cash,” and “a Globe spokesperson said last night the person who picked up the wallet found no money in it ‘and we have it on video surveillance.’” Mystery!
