<p><br></p>
<p>On Saturday morning, I'm walking along the part of Waikiki where I can watch the distant surf break with surfers and body boarders catching waves towards the Queen's part of the beach.</p>
<p>I get up and totally think that I've grabbed my wallet that was under my tank top shirt, but then didn't.</p>
<p>I found out when, after walking 30 minutes along ... that the wallet wasn't in my back pocket or in my hand.</p>
<p>Self-panic alert.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Uh-oh.</p>
<p>With so much day time foot traffic, I knew someone would have seen it on the park bench and picked it up.</p>
<p>Part of me was praying that whoever picked it up, would at least turn in the wallet so that I could have my ID to be able to fly to my work trip in Houston and then back home to Maui and Big Island thereafter.</p>
<p>I just imagined, wow this is that feeling people get when they lose their wallet which actually contains lots of important things like ID, credit cards, and cash (which would be the least important out of that bunch).</p>
<p>In any case, before I "freaked" out ... I ran back to the bench just to see if there was the slightest chance the wallet would be there. Of course not.</p>
<p>Interestingly, a surfer that walked by told me he literally had just seen the wallet 5 minutes beforehand when he was showering off. Darn.</p>
<p>I ask the lifeguard if they got any wallets. Nope.</p>
<p>Then I asked some homeless people nearby if they might have seen any. Nope again.</p>
<p>Yup ... so I was thinking ... well, don't know how I'm going to identify myself, particularly that it's on a Saturday and the DMV and all these other services were closed. It's harder to when I'm not on my home island of Big Island ... as I was on the neighboring island of Oahu.</p>
<p>I walk over to a police car nearby and ask to report a lost wallet.</p>
<p>He directs me over to a local police beach station, which when I walked in ... the lady police flashed an ID across the window. She immediately recognized me.</p>
<p>And I immediately JUMPED FOR JOY.</p>
<p>YES!</p>
<p>That saves so much time and hassle, I didn't have to call to cancel cards or figure out how I was going get temporary ID to travel.</p>
<p>At that point, I thanked her, asked her who turned it in ... she said some kind old local guy ... and I thanked that old local guy man in my thoughts, blessing him and his honesty.</p>
<p>Everything in my wallet still contained the exact money and credit cards and ID. Nothing was taken.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thank you thank you to that old man, to the lady officer for holding it and any Spirit angels or Universe that was watching over me. Just grateful.</p>
<p>I know it's cliche, but faith in humanity restored!</p>
