    Carry less cash?
    Be more careful?
    Thank the person who turned in your lost wallet?

    I went to town today to buy school books for my kid. Long story short, dropped my wallet (stupid I know). Wallet was handed in to the Garda station, cards and license still there, but €300 in cash gone. So thanks to the person who returned the wallet and I'd like to wish a severe and painful bout of piles to the thief who swiped the cash.

    Anyway my kid asked me what I'd do if I found the guy who swiped the cash, any suggestions?

    It could have all have gone, cards, licence, the person that found it didn't steal it, they could have thrown it into a bin, they didn't, count your blessings.

    Put it in your mind that it was someone who really really needed that money.
    Otherwise you'll drive yourself bonkers.

    Good advice, OP should sleep alot easier. It won't be an euphoric sleep like the junkie is now getting but it'll be a good sleep all the same.

    That's so ****ty, hope it comes back to bite them some day. I can't understand someone doing that at all. I would never ever do that even if I knew there was no way I'd get caught.

    guy? Could have been a woman.

    Plus leave the person alone and move on. Be glad they didn't take everything.

    Garda station probably has CCTV so me thinks this story is made up

    What ?

    Some lowlife stole €300 and he should "leave them alone" and "be glad" ?

    I'll take it your asking that just for the threads sake, and your not actually looking for suggestions, on an internet forum. But can't say I'd be surprised, so many posts in various forums that simply appear to me that large swathes of the population have gone soft, and don't know how to deal with confrontation.

    You'd absolutely thump the head of the person, end of.

    I also assume the OP is saying that whoever handed in the wallet lifted the cash, and not the Guards.

    I don't think the Gardai stole the money.

    I think someone took the cash and discarded the wallet, the wallet was then found by someone else and handed in to the Garda station.

    That's what I think...no proof of any of this though.
