Well I don’t think so. Mine had only 2. The first time I lost it in Canada, I pulled it unknowingly out of my bag with my jacket. But over there they just took the cash and threw the wallet back, to my delight because I was so far away from home. I lost the same wallet again on Saturday night. Yes……… you got it, pulled it out of my bag with my jacket again but this time they took it all. You know that awful moment when you realize its actually gone, its almost like losing a limb, and this time the chances are looking slim that I will get it back. Why not do what the Canadians do, take the cash and leave the wallet? Why throw someone else’s life in the bin? If you find my wallet take my money but leave me my life. Not only had the wallet sentimental value but also each irreplaceable card told a story. A Canadian student ID card, my constant companion for my year away from home, was still valid until 2015. It, and all the discounted travel that go with it, can never be replaced. My Subway card was one sandwich away from a freebee and my Starbucks similarly loaded. Every student knows how one free meal in the week can boost the entertainment budget. Not to mention the humiliation of being asked at 3am , “Do you really want to cancel these cards?”
