A man, Dennis Helmer, whose wallet was stollen nearly 50 years ago during a burglary at his parents’ house has surprisingly got his wallet back.

The 78-year-old who lives in of Westmont, New Jersey, received a call recently from one Don Williams, who told him a wallet containing documents with his name was found in the ceiling of his Bellmawr home by a contractor.

The wallet’s contents included Helmer’s 1957 Selective Service card, a St. Christopher Medal, a 1956 receipt for his $168 tuition payment to Drexel University and photos including a snapshot of Helmer posing with his Camden Catholic High School prom date, The Inquirer reported.

It turns out the Williamses had had a fire, and in refurbishing their house, a contractor had found the wallet in a ceiling, along with some books and a newspaper from 1945, Helmer said.

Don Williams saw Helmer’s name in the wallet, looked him up on the web, and made contact. Helmer said the wallet was apparently stolen during a burglary at his parents’ home in 1970. He said he never knew it was missing until Williams called him.

47 years?

That wallet should be kept in a museum henceforth.

Odd

he never knew his wallet which he takes up and down every day was missing till he was told. that guy must have brain malfunction. both him and the person who found the wallet and contacted him.

He never knew? Either he is an ajebo or his brain is malfunctioning.
