First thing you need to do is see who's wallet it is.
I looked inside to find a phone number but that was a dead end. Next I tired the phone book (denied again) then the most awesome person in the world (Meg) suggested we call the bank because he had a card in there for them. To make a long story short Meg ran the guy's wallet to the closest bank branch. I never thought about it until today but they say your kid's watch what you do...well I just hope D'artanyan saw what Meg and I did this day and understand's it's always better to do the right thing.

I am so proud of you. Yes you did set a wonderful example. If my memory serves me correctly, one of you boys found a wallet years ago, and returned it to the rightful owner.. I think they may have given you a 10.00 reward. do any of you remember that? mom
i believe it was larry that found the wallet in a restaurant. we traced the owner from a library card found in the wallet.
There is actually a sad side to this story, and it goes a little something like this: One day Dave was surfing the web when he decided to check up on his little brother's blog. Once he came to the freshly-updated page he whistled sand said, "whooahhh.... lookie there Sherrie." And what did he see? Why, credit card numbers... there there in the picture. Three days later his present-packages to himself started showing up via. FedEx. This truly was going to be an early Christmas for middle-bro Dave.

PS: Hope I didn't destroy the "love fest" that was going on with everyone's happy comments. :P Seriously though... kids will watch and remember even the smallest things you do -- so you did the right thing. It's funny how we live in a world where we tell kids to do what we tell them, but we don't follow those rules ourselves. Like movies, for example: We don't let kids into R rated movies, but we'll sit down and watch them ourselves. Why? The content obviously isn't good for kids -- why is it good for adults? All you're doing is creating a "mystery" for the kid. All kids want to grow up as fast as they can... so they'll eventually sneak a peak at a "R" rated movie, only they'll lie about it (because they already know you don't approve). But the temptation you've already created by watching it yourself makes them want it that much more. They ALSO want to be considered worthy of adult things... so they figure that's what they have to do to be considered an adult (or on their way to being one). Might as well just hand them a beer and a pack of smokes and tell them to wait for their Playboy subscription to arrive in the mail. It's the exact same thing as peer pressure... only instead of wanting to be "cool" around their friends, they're trying to gain "adult respect" to the people they look up to the most... their parents.
The bank said they would closed his account. So there's no shoping with the number's cause the card is dead.
