Great news....we had a similar situation in St John.

On our honeymoon (in 2005), we stopped at one of the scenic overlooks to take a picture. My wife was holding our "dive box" which had our credit card, Westin Room key, drivers license and about $150 in cash, and she put it on the hood of the jeep so we can take a picture.

3/4 of the way to Waterlemon, we realized it was gone. We filed a report with the police in the event someone found it, but by the time we got back to the Westin, we had a message from someone who found it and dropped it back at the front desk (she mentioned that everything was there including the cash).

The not so great part of the story....When I went to the front desk to reclaim it, everything was there but the cash. I informed the lady that the woman who had found it left a message saying that the cash was all there, and its very strange that its gone now. She asked me how much was in there, and proceeded to go into her pouch and give me the amount that I told her (I figured she was simply going to fill out a report).

I chose to focus on the good samaritan that went out of the way to return our money, etc. rather than the secondary part of the story. She left her name - we tried to track her down but alas, no luck. If it was anyone on this board, I'd love to thank you in person.

Wonderful!!!. I lost my purse last week at walmart. Here at home. Someone turned it in and all my cards and stuff was there, but the 200.00 just withdrawn from the bank was gone. I hope whoever took it used it for something important like food or rent.

RATS!!!...errr...good for you, but there goes my excuse for heading for the island to look for it. Now what will I tell my wife I have to go for?

It's always good to have a happy ending.

I once dropped all my cash & credit cards, health insuranace card, license etc out of my pocket while trying on clothes at a store. I didn't even notice it until I was paged over the loudspeaker at Kohl's to go to the front desk and retrieve it all. That person was my angel cuz that would've been a stolen identification nightmare.

Randy, that is great news!! When you said you had a feeling that you were going to get it back, I admit, I didn't think you would. I guess you must have great intuition!!

I am so happy for you!!

I haven't been around for a few days... just now getting caught up! I'm so glad an honest person found it and turned it in! That's so incredible! :D
