    I'd say a 20 buck gift card to Starbucks or something would be plenty.

    FAQ this exact thing happened to me last year, though they returned it by finding my apartment via the address on my license and dropping it off at my apartment with a note and a number

    I can't tell you what to do, but for me I called the number, thanked them, and asked if there was an address I could send flowers, to which she politely declined but was super nice

    I think call them, say thank you and see if they'll give you an address to send something. This gives them a chance to turn it down, which some people don't really want a reward, and talking to them might give you an idea of what to get em

    I think flowers or a fruit basket or something is a nice gesture.

    Or like Amy's Apples if you wanna go nuts.

    Don't do money, that's weird.

    The few times I returned a wallet I expected nothing and got nothing.

    A heartfelt thank you letter would be nice? I'd have felt weird if any of the people gave me like, a reward though.

    This is bang on the money right here,

    except the bit about no cash, people like cash still right? do kids still call it 'cash' or is it 'moolah' now??

    Fair enough, the no cash thing is a personal preference, it feels weird for me

    20 bucks would totally work yeah, or a 20 dollar gift card somewhere.

    I returned a wallet once but I didn't leave my name and phone number expecting a reward or anything because I thought not being a thief was just a pretty basic fucking standard of decency.

    Friend once lost his wallet which had a packet of Durex lube in it. Someone handed the wallet in with everything still inside except the lube.

    True story.

    FAQ drops mad lyrics like a man might drop a wallet: accidentally and with great remorse.

    A six pack of beer is a fine reward for something like that.

    Decent fucking beer though.

    Really though, returning the wallet saves him a huge amount of hassle, replacing bank cards and ID is a big thing. Even if there was no money in it.

    Oh, yeah I think I actually left the wrong number in there, so I'll send you the right one on here instead. No thanks needed, cash is fine.
