Inside Police Reports: The Price For Forgetting Your Wallet?

One June 3rd, a Snellville man who stopped at a gas station in Lilburn paid at the counter and then returned to his car. Realizing he had left his wallet on the counter, he returned but couldn't find it, so he called his girlfriend to assist in the search.

When neither could locate the missing wallet, they left. Being persistent, and obviously in need of his wallet, the man came back to find that the person behind the counter was not the same one from the previous trips.

The cashier claimed no knowledge of the wallet's whereabouts. 

Persistence pays off.

The gentleman came back the next day to find the original cashier at the register who promptly handed over the wallet, saying that an "older man" had seen the wallet and turned it over to the station.

When questioned she explained that it was their policy to place all lost and found items next to the register.  

Though no credit cards were taken, the police report states that $300 cash was missing. No arrests were made.
