Re: [RBW] Lost & found anything while riding?
Something similar happened to me commuting home from work in the early 1980s. I was commuting on a Raleigh DL-1 roadster then, with my wallet in a Carradice-clone seat bag. I'd failed to secure one of the straps, and when I got home I discovered my wallet was missing. I backtracked my route from home into the District of Columbia, but found nothing. Rode back home disconsolate and worried about all the hassle of getting new IDs, etc., to learn when I did get home that a fellow commuter had found my wallet only minutes after I'd dropped it and since he was passing through my neighborhood on his way home, had stopped at my house and dropped the wallet off.

Later I learned that one brand new summer glove was missing. The nice ones that Riv sells. Never found it and was stuck with one brand new glove. Not a huge financial loss, but still quite Frustrating. I have found many items on the paths around here: lights, jackets, keys, etc. If they are bright items and off to the side, I just leave them. If they are in the path, I pick them up and put them at the nearest entrance, fence post or wall. Hopefully the person that lost them will come back and have an easy time finding them. Once on the road I found a wallet. I could tell it hadn’t been there long. Opened it up, lots of cash, cards, drivers liscence and business card matching name on liscence. I called the guy up and said I had his wallet. He didn’t think so, thought I was scamming him or something. Eventually he came around, realized it was possible and grew incredibly thankful. Oh, and on the road over the years, I have found many a tool that has fallen off the back of trucks. Those I pick up and keep!

Many times I have lost other riders on rides. They usually disappear up ahead of me, never to be seen again. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Lost & found anything while riding?
Thanks for the support. It drives me nuts because I never lose anything. I'm compulsively oraganized. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Lost & found anything while riding?
I lost my keys on a popular stretch of dirt road, and annoyed a number of walkers asking them if they had seen my keys. No luck, alas, but I did find them inside my house when I got home, and entered using a cleverly hidden spare. OTOH, the grocery pannier -- old hook and bungee type -- that I lost on or about the same stretch never did turn up, either on that road or at home. I assume it either bounced off, or was scraped off when I filtered through something narrow. And then there were the several fraught days when I couldn't find my cell phone; when I dialed it using Google, I could hear it ringing faintly and elusively and derisively in the distance, but when I dashed upstairs or downstairs to locate it, it eluded me. I found it on about day 2, lying outside my front door on the gravel -- good thing we're high desert.
