Most people lost their wallet and never ever get it back. Reilly Flaherty and Brynn Gingras make this story hilarious to read. The note that the anonymous guy writes was the funniest. The anonymous take the money and stuff, but sent a letter explain about it. 3 Relate: I can relate to this because I have lost my wallet before, but luckily I found it…

While NCTD does not prohibit personal shopping carts from coming onboard the bus, these utility devices are not allowed to take up space on the bus, they must be folded and placed between the seats.
