A wallet misplaced during a romantic embrace has been returned to its forgetful owner after 55 years.
Two classic car collectors from the US state of Idaho found the wallet after it fell out of the back of a vintage(旧式的)car they were planning to restore.After an Internet search they found and contacted the owner,Glenn Goodlove.Mr.Goodlove said he probably lost the wallet in the back seat of his 1946 Hudson car when he was home on leave from the US Navy.
Jon Beck,61,and Chuck Merrill,72,bought the now-vintage vehicle in Idaho after placing an ad in a local newspaper to buy a classic car in need of restoration.Driving the car home after buying it,the collectors stopped at a restaurant and saw something from below the back seat.
“Like a couple of kids,we thought we had a goldmine,”Mr.Beck said.Instead,they found some small change--the leather wallet held a$10 bill,Mr.Goodlove’s military ID, his social security card,his driver's license and several jewellery receipts from 1952.But they were all in the name of Glenn Putnam.
After searching online,Mr.Beck discovered that Mr.Putnam had changed his name to Glenn Goodlove and moved to San Diego,California.He called Mr.Goodlove,asking to speak to a man who used to drive a’46 Hudson.
“There was a silence for about 15 seconds,”Mr.Beck told the Twin Falls Times-News.“Then he said,‘Who is that?”Mr.Goodlove,now 75,says he did not even remember losing the wallet,but the find has brought memories of his youth in Everett,Washington,flooding back.“I could see the house and the car and the town and all the good stuff from living there”’he said.“They’ve been flowing ever since he talked to me.”

One cold night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco.There I was walking home around one o’clock in the morning after a 31 practice at the theatre. With the opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines by heart. I was having 32 handling my part-time job at the bank in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about 33 both acting and San Francisco. I had 34 too much of city life.
As I walked down the 35 streets under the tall buildings, I felt very small and cold, so I began 36 both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out 37 a few homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my 38 , I heard a sound behind me. I 39 quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me 40 so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I 41 what the noise had been. It had been my wallet 42 to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk 43 for 15 minutes, my wallet was 44 to be found.
Just as I was about to quit the 45 , I heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to 46 . When a voice came from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened and out jumped a small blonde(金发碧眼的) man with an 47 look in his eyes. “Is this 48 you’re looking for?” He asked, holding up something like a wallet.
It was already 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I couldn’t get much sleep, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some 49 of city life. I realized the city couldn’t be a bad place 50 people were willing to help each other.
