Well,,, Here is my dumbazz attack from this weekend. I went out riding with my wife and my brother. Wifey wanted to eat so we stopped at a small restaurant(In full leather, knee sliders on and all). We parked the bikes right by the windows so we left our jackets, mp3 players, helmet, gloves ect on the bikes. I(As I have done dozens of times to go in somewhere without my jacket) stuck my phone in my right boot and my wallet in the left(was in a zipped inner pocket of my jacket). We ate, I paid, stuck my wallet back in my boot to go to the restroom before leaving. We are getting geared back up to leave and had a change of heart about where we wanted to go from there so a lengthy discussion sidetracked my usual method of madness for getting regeared, needless to say I forgot a step and we left. I had lead the whole day and continued from there. We had a fairly spirited ride to the next town about 20miles away where we stopped again to do some bike swappin. This is when it hit me,,,,,, I opened my jacket to remove my ballcap when something didn't feel right(no effin wallet or phone in the pocket which I normally feel right away). I was ready to puke, looked down to find that my phone had made the trip(no freaking clue how cause I was hanging off the bike A LOT),,,,,my wallet,,, didn't.
After some moments of thought, I couldn't remember feeling it fall out while riding and the others didn't see it go flying. There were a few curves that I got far enough ahead of them to be out of sight for a moment and with the way I was riding I felt it very possible for those times to be when it went. We retraced our tracks looking desperately at the ditches in the hopes of finding something. I was darn near reading the print on advertisers as I rode by them,,,,no luck.. My wife called the restaurant with no luck and we made it all the way back there with no site of it. I knew I was screwed. I pulled out my phone to see what time it was and to start canceling cards,,,,when I saw I had a voice mail. Police department called n said they had my wallet(about 20 minutes after we had left the restaurant). I'm like "How the f*** did they get my number to a prepay phone???" We went to the station and the dispatcher said a small boy found it and asked his dad to take him to the cops so he could give it to them(When we left the restaurant was the ONE time that my wife and brother both were ahead of me while we pulled around the lot(when it fell out of my boot)) The dispatcher looked through everything in my wallet trying to find something with a # on it. She decided to look me up on the internet and came across my wife's "myspace" page, leading her to eventually find my "facebook" page where I have my phone # listed in my personal info.. I couldn't freakin believe it,,, I did certainly learn that no matter how many times you have done something without forgetting, there's gonna be a time that you will.. And I did get the number for the boy that turned it in(with every dollar in it), and someone will certainly be getting a nice reward... I am so grateful for this rare case of decency in the world we live in today. It would have taken me WEEKS to replace some of the ID's alone, besides the things that I could never replace. It would easily have cost me 3 to 4 hundred dollars just in replacements let alone the cash. Thank you soooooo much to all those who teach their children morals, I will certainly do my part in rewarding him for his good dead. Hope that my stupidity prevents one of you from making a similar oversite. I'm still tore up about the fact that I did it and it's been 2 days now and I got it back.. Always triple check!!!!
Oh yeah, lost a bottle of Mountain Dew from under my cargo net in a curve that hurdled toward my "closely following" wife.
Hope that's enough.
