    Dear Person Who Found My Wallet It and Kept it
    I dropped or misplaced my wallet in Heatons store in Maynooth on Saturday evening (9th January 2016) around 5pm and I guess my misfortune was your good fortune and you are now richer to the tune of 50 euro plus change. You are welcome to the money - lets face it, there are not many of us who would turn down an extra 50 euro in any given week. Even the wallet may be of use to you - its a basic River Island cream and black wallet - (€25 in River Island so you could buy yourself and your friends or family another 2 more if you wanted) - and its still got a few more years life in it so I can see the merit in maybe holding onto it. However, and this is the part where my understanding of human nature escapes me - naive and all as it may be - what use are the cancelled bank cards, store loyalty cards and other personal stuff to you? I may be financially worse off by €50 but by holding onto (or discarding) my wallet you have taken photographs of my family and me that I will never be able to replace - and that's the killer!! I have left my contact details in Heatons, Tesco customer service and Eurogiant in Maynooth. If you have ever lost or had something taken from you that you valued and meant something to you - please return the photos from my wallet! It would make my day to get them back!

    Sorry to hear OP.

    Could you resort to other social media sites (twitter / facebook) to see if you can get it back?

    E.G. send a tweet / get them to retweet share from the likes of https://twitter.com/MaynoothBuzz

    Without sounding silly, have you also left them with the Gardai, too? I know two people who lost wallets and had them recovered by the Gardai (one even still had the cash inside).

    You could also post here ... https://www.facebook.com/groups/maynoothpastpresentfutrue/

    Hope you have some luck, as you say cash, cards and other bits are replaceable but its the photos that are always the killer!

    Ive never understood why anyone would have a 50 in their wallet outside of a bar night. If you're gongoing to spend that kind of money chip and pin it.

    Tip: Never have more than a 20 on you outside social event...

    F♡ck it, I found your wallet and spent the 50 on cigarettes.

    Try Leixlip Garda station.
    I found a wallet here in Maynooth a while back and I brought it to Maynooth Garda station--they told me to bring it to Leixlip which is the regional division head quarters.

    Maybe if someone found yours it was dropped to Leixlip.
    Might be worth a try.

    How bad has Ireland become in the last couple years if you cant safely have 50 quid in your wallet without fear of it being stolen?

    There are plenty of valid reasons someone might prefer to use cash over chip & pin.

    Contact the local bank branch. I found a wallet recently and had grave doubts about heading it into the person in the shop (I handed something in before and when I said it to the manager a few days later it had never been logged.) I popped it into bank that the credit cards came from.
