WOW, lost my wallet on a taxi after dropped my bike off at performance bike for a service and it was far from my house so decided to take a random taxi on the road, and had a good converstaiton with him about bike as i was carrying my helmet and leather jacket, and the driver happened to ride as well, so we were just chatting where to get him started on the license and stuff, and after i got off and left him some tips too and that nite i realised i had lost my wallet on the taxi, but i couldn't remember neither the driver's name nor his taxi number, so in despair i rang all the card companies and police station to report loss of my wallet and bought a wallet on sunday at DFO, great bargain on the wallet tho i must mention from OROTON, anyway today got a call from cheltenham police station and reported that my wallet has been returned from the taxi drive and i'm picking it up tonite owowowo

ain't i proud of melbourian!!!!

can't be happier, and now thinking about to get a refund on the newly bought wallet

oh btw met frank from performance bike and ken at brighton kwaka, whilst i was picking up a key blank for my bike

There's no worse feeling than loosing your wallet...

Glad there are still some good people out there.

You're lucky!! Got buy a Powerball ticket....

My friend was at Doulton Bar in St Kilda on Saturday night, was getting hassled by a guy and decided to make a break for it. And left her bag behind - with wallet, phone, house & car keys and uni assignment.

Unfortunately she hasn't been as lucky as you and has had to change the locks on the house, have her car towed out to Ford to have it fitted with new locks and re-coded, and taken two days unpaid off work to re-do the assignment.

I lost my wallet a few months ago, I got a call from the police dept to let me know that someone had handed it in to them...

I got the call from the police before I realised I had lost it...

The smart arse policeman at the desk handed over my wallet after checking that I really was me by looking at my licence which is in my wallet.... he said "hmmm did you know it is illegal to ride without a licence"... (he had a smirk on his face)... In my most smart allecky voice I said "I know mate.... I pushed it here" He chuckled.

The hundred bucks that was in there was still there...

that's really really bad, i guess the wallet in this case is the least important??

Lucky it was Melbourne. A Sydney cabbie wouldn't have been able to find his way to a police station.

Some of Melbourne's cabbies ain't that good either, have had to direct a bloke to the MCG once, he should realise it's Mecca's equivalent in Melbourne and hence know his way there blindfolded really....

i think most of the taxi drivers are those came from overseas, and got no money to buy a car and needed a job,

and driving a taxi fits them perfectly, hence it's understandable that they don't know their way,

i don't catch taxi that often, only once in 2 years or something, but everything, i just show where i wana go in melway regardless they know the place or not before they start the charging meter!

if u do get pulled over while riding or driving i think you do have 7 days to present it to the police station.

happened to macca after his off. ambos still had his licence and while driving me to local shops got pulled over (in my car too, opps )

they let him off after they heard the story

I jumped in a taxi at the airport once...

I said "South melbourne"

he said "Where?"

I said "South melbourne"

"how do I go there?"

"Its by the burnley tunnel"

"The burnley tunnel?"

"Just go to the boltey bridge"

"Which way is that"

"How do I get out of this taxi?"

"Why?"

Glad ya got it back, I lost my purse once and had $500 in cash in it and all they took was $20
