My story does not compare in seriousness with yours, but you may need a laugh. I went to Wendy's drive-through. Ordered, drove to window. Paid. Drove away. I had to drive around the block, go back through the line, to retrieve my food. The youngsters working inside were hysterically laughing.

According to fast food workers, this happens quite often.  LOL.  A friend of mine was picking up breakfast at McDonald's for her mother.  She got all the way to her mother's house when she realized she paid and then drove away without the food.  She felt too foolish to go back.

I drove up to the Sonic drive through rigtht past the order speaker.

My car pulled up to the window and said I had the large diet coke.

It dawned on my that I had not ordered my diet coke.

The youngish clerk and I just laughed. I said thanks -just a Senior moment.

I did that at Starbucks.  The young girl looked at me and said, "You didn't order anything."  Then we had a good laugh and she let me order right there at the window.

My worst moment was at an outdoor craft fair.  I had my craft money ($300) in an envelope in my purse.  Got out of my car in the large parking area and opened my purse to put my keys away and get out my wallet.  Didn't realize that the envelope with all the money had fallen to the ground until I went to pay for something at a craft booth.  Someone sure had a lucky day when they found that!  I was upset for the rest of the day.

So sorry you lost all that money.  I'd be upset too.

One time my husband and I found someone's wallet laying on the ground in a parking lot.  We took it into the store but didn't just hand it over to lost and found because it was full of cash and credit cards.  We held on to it and had them announce over the speaker that a wallet was found outside on the ground.  A little while later a man came to claim the wallet and looked at us like we stole it and walked away without even saying thank you.  People are sometimes just ignorant and rude.

There's a saying..."if you can live with it, I can live without it".  I try to remember that whenever someone steals or cheats.

That kind of treatment (of you and DH) was disgusting and outrageous!

I have found many IPhones and purses left in shopping carts in parking lots and I always took them back in the store, asked for the manager of the store to be paged and turned it over to them.

Many years ago, I was getting into my car when I spotted a handbag in a grocery cart.  I took it back into the store, but the management refused to page anyone on the loudspeaker.  They wanted me to leave the bag, but I felt quite uneasy about it.  I looked in the wallet, found the address and drove to the street (not far from where I lived).  I knocked on the door and a young man answered.  I said that I had found it in a cart and it was probably his mother's.  He took the bag, barely thanked me and closed the door.  Oh well, I felt good I'd done a good deed and treated someone the way I would have wanted to be treated.

Hope you find a reason to walk into 2021 feeling good about the driver in the truck. What a distracted world we live in. Consider yourself normal!

I have found wallets and credit cards over the years. I usually take them to the local police station and they contact the owner. A few years back I found a wallet in a store and went to the return counter and a man was there reporting his lost wallet I asked his name and matched it to the license and gave him the wallet.  He opened the wallet counted his cash and credit cards and walked away without a word. I was really upset because he made it seem like if any money was missing he would have accused me.  Now I take it to the police and they can deal with wallet. I was in my teens so it was upsetting but I got over it.

I went to Starbucks at our mall.  Got my drink but left my debit card on the counter.  I walked off then realized what I did.  The card was still on the counter.  I felt so foolish and scared. Never told my son.  I'd never hear the end of it.

Aren't there security cameras at the ATM, could they check the footage and see you didn't leave with your cash? As for someone turning in the cash, I hope they do for your sake. I would turn it in because I am an honest person, it wouldn't sit right with me. I also think it's bad karma to keep the cash, also it's not worth $200 if the bank finds out and they press charges.
