Old wallet falls out of a 1946 Hudson while it's being prepped for restoration
This morning brings us yet another amazing story from the nation's lost-and-found.
Glenn Putnam lost his wallet in 1952. Now, 55 years later, the wallet has been returned after it fell out of a 1946 Hudson that was being restored in Twin Falls, Idaho.
"Like a couple of kids, we thought we had a gold mine," Jon Beck tells The Times-News.
The billfold didn't hold many bills. "The leather wallet held a $10 bill, a $1 silver certificate, military identification, a Social Security card and a hand-written Washington state driver's license, all in the name 'Glenn Putnam.' And another dated clue: several jewelry receipts from 1952," the paper says.
Beck and a friend used the Internet to track down the owner, now a 75-year-old living in San Diego who says he thinks he lost his wallet while he was making out with a girl in the back of his family's car.
