Man loses his wallet, gets this bizarre handwritten note back instead

A man who lost his wallet at a Wilco show in Brooklyn was only able to salvage his credit card and a handwritten note from the thief explaining why he wasn't returning the cash or metrocard.

Reilly Flaherty, 28, told The New York Post he had gone back from his Lower East Side apartment to the concert venue in search of his wallet, but came up with nothing. A few weeks later, an envelope with some credit cards and a note arrived in the mail.

He posted the note to Instagram, where it has about 450 likes.

thanks.. I think?

I found your wallet and your drivers license had your address so here's your credit cards and other important stuff. I kept the cash because I needed weed, the metrocard because well the fare's $2.75 now, and the wallet cause it's kinda cool. enjoy the rest of your day. toodles. anonymous.

In addition to the MetroCard and cash, Flaherty was robbed of a $10 Barnes & Noble gift certificate and Mr. Shiny’s shoeshine loyalty card, “which was a real drag because I almost had a free shine,” he lamented.

Perhaps he can try this woman's method! After her car had been stolen numerous times, she left a note in the glove compartment to cut a deal with the thief. It worked.
