Lost wallet returned after 35 years

This AP article is about a lady who had her wallet returned after 35 years. The Dallas school teacher unknowningly lost her wallet while she was teaching at the school in 1969. Construction workers found the wallet this year and with the help of a local TV station, located her and returned the wallet.

One thing interesting is what she had in her wallet: her checkbook and her Social Security card. It's amazing that she doesn't remember losing it. If I lost my wallet with these things in it today, I would be nervous. I suppose back then, identity theft wasn't much of a problem.
