In South Carolina, an 11-year-old went fishing and found a 25-year-old wallet. Even more surprisingly, knew the person who lost it.
In California, a woman was shocked when she learned that a wallet she lost at a movie theater 46 years earlier had been found.
And in 2020, an Ohio custodian doing repairs found a purse that had been missing since 1957.
