Have yaul ever lost your wallet or cash by accident? How much did you loose?
I lost my wallet in the raftors of a house one day....2 weeks later a guy called my work and told the boss that he found a wallett with a check from the company in it. I got it back with $150 and about 350 worth of checks in it. Thanks HVAC guy!
I thought I lost a envelope with $300 tonight. I could have swore I put it in the console of my dodge. I tore the truck apart and looked throught the pocket of my dirty clothes. It ended up being stuffed down in the seat of my truck between the drivers seat and center seat.
 
I lost $500 cash once at a job site in Bristol. I was wearing my coveralls and it was in my outside pocket. I think it fell out when I was about welding 200' in the air as my harness pulled on my clothes in ways I didn't really think about. Wind was blowing so I expect the cash ended up on the hillside in a pasture never to be found again...

It really pissed me off because that was a little side $$$ I made while I was out of town and it was 2 weeks before Christmas... :(
 
Almost $500 at the beach in GA once long ago. That'll learn you to carry all of your cash in your board shorts.

Nothing compared to the money wasted on trucks and cars though. :(
 
Never lost any money, but had my wallet stolen once with no money but ended up being a victim of credit card fraud.

Found a change purse with no ID with almost $300 in it while clubbing one night. If finding the owner would have been a slight possibility, I would have tried, but it was not. Therefore, me and my friends had a grand time that night.

Weirdest thing I ever found was a ball python on the street while clubbing one night. Back then I used to collect reptiles and did free reptile shows for the schools so of course I kept it....until I traded it for a tattoo. LOL It was only a yearling and I already had a full grown ball and several other snakes.
 
About 5 or 6 years ago we had a bad hail storm and my dad got insurance to cover the damage to his truck. He got a check for $2000, cashed it, and then lost the money. Now fast forward to last summer, my stepmom was cleaning the living room and found the cash in the middle of a phone book. That was a pretty good surprise.
 
Oh wow... Nobody would look in the phonebook lol.

I lost $300 about a year ago while wheeling some trails out toward stokesdale, I ended up getting stuck and wading through some pretty nasty shit to hook up the tow strap and all, ofcourse Id been drinking down on the trails but not enough that I would have done anything dumb. Anyway we drive up to mcdonalds after leaving the trails and I go to pay and my wallet is gone, about 300 cash I had just cashed a check, and all my credit cards and all. Sucked.
 
I lost 500.00 several months ago....Fell out of my pocket apparently when I was getting out the car to go inside to put it away before taking it to the bank the next morning.
 
I found two soggy $20 bills once while walking along the beach. It was early in the morning, and no one was around, so I guess it was lost the day before and just washed up over night. That was a nice surprise.
 
$90 and 1 Reef flip flop on the same drunken night. I was way more pissed about loosing the flop.:beer:
 
Back in high school I had about $700 bucks that I had "hidden" but then I forgot where it was. About a year later I went fly fishing and found the money "hidden"in my vest. Cool thing was I found it while I was off being a broke college student, came in at a good time :beer:
 
I had sold a car and bought a differ one and I had about 700 left over I did not have time to get to the bank so I put it in this old model ship I had. then I sold some more cars and did some more deals and forgot I put it there. till one day (6 months later) the Wife was cleaning and found it. Luckily she told me she found the $700
 
lol
 
ive lost a few paychecks over the years but i generally find them in the end. i still have one missing from a month or two missing but im pretty sure its in my jeep somewhere under all the tools and turkey hunting crap still left in there.
 
Does a strip club count as an accident if you told your old lady you lost it by accident?

Not that that has ever happened to me or anything....
 
Maybe some of you guys need to get together and swap flops!! Hope yall wear the same size.

My dad lost his wallet getting out of a big rig in the parking lot of a factory w/ $9500.00 in it. He went back later that night and shined a flashlight across the ground and seen a hump and luckly it was his wallet. It looked like it had been run over a bunch. The Security guard there said there was 3-4 hundred cars drove over his wallet at quitting time. Can't believe someone didn't see it.

My wife forced me to throw my single away after 2yrs. To tell the truth, I had no real reason to hold onto it. I was at a large city rock festival 4yrs ago when my brother and friends found me on a sidewalk in the arms of a large black woman. I was completely & comfortably passed out. They claimed that I only had one flop when the found me, I loved that pair and have never seen another like them.

I have a thing for Reefs, beside the fact that they always have the BEST ad in Surfer Magazine. I wore the same pair out tonite that I bought in the summer of '97 and left them at the Hatteras light house the day after I bought them. We went back at first light to check the surf and someone had set them on top of a trash can there, me nor my friends will ever forget that as long as we live. We were well into a half gallon of Rum when I realized it the night before and could not have crawled back there to get them. The good ole days:rolleyes:
