I'm curious. If your friend chose to have it mailed, would you ask them to cover postage or tell them to not worry about it?
Your friend came and visit. He left his/her wallet at your house. What would you do?
A. Mail out the wallet. Expect no payment.
B. I'll pay to mail out your wallet. Just pay me back when you see me.
C. You pay me first. I'll mail it out.
D. You'll have to come here and get it. I don't want to do anything.
If I were to find a wallet here that this person forgot, I'd inform about their wallet and what this person wants to do... either come back to pick up or I go over there to hand it back to them. If I were to drive over there and hand it back... all this person has to do is say thank you. It is all about showing respect and compassionate. There is no need for payments or reimbursement to help your friends... we all forget things sometimes. There's no reason to become greedy to demand a small fee or reimbursement.
If this friend lives a distance away, an arrangement can be made to either mail it to them or meet half way. If you mail to them, they will usually get it the next business day. If this person urgently needs the wallet, and offers a reimbursement for the fuel costs, at least this person is being considerate of you and shows respectful that you are honest person. To earn respect and trust goes both ways.![]()
I would let her/him know what s/he wanna do with this. I prefer to pick out D.
Wow , I can see you go all the way out for your friends. :roll:

if you left your wallet at your house I would immediately text you that I found your wallet. You would be frantic and worried and stressed out looking around where you might have lost it having a heart attack as we know how hard it is to get a replacement with heaps of paperwork to prove who we really are. Put yourself in their shoes. Having to cancel credit/debit card to prevent theft. And renewals etc.
I've dealt with family members losing their things at my house and I would call them up letting them know its in safe hands. If a friend or loved one lost a wallet at my house, distance wont matter I'll immediately call them or text them and we can figure out a plan to get it over there. I wouldn't think about money it's the least of my worries.
Its part of life, it's not an inconvenience to me when it happens. Like others say Karma gets to you. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
Huh, did I say that ?![]()
