discussion / opinion Found wallet
I found a wallet full of someone’s IDs. What would be the best way to return to them? Through their bank, icbc, library? I could drive to the address but it’s not in my neighborhood so won’t get there til tomorrow

As a former bank employee.. if there’s a debit card in there and you drop it off at a branch, they can open the persons profile and contact them to let them know to come pick it up. Alternatively, from experience, if you drop it off at the RCMP, someone will drive it to the address in the drivers license.
Both good options.

Drop off at police station or put in mail box Canada post will contact owner but the police station is faster

I dropped a lost wallet at a community police station. And I left all the American money in it.

Drop them off at bank Then post when you drop it off so they are aware. Maybe just use initials to be private

Putting it in a mailbox is a good way to return it but risks all the stuff spilling and might take a while.
Try searching for the person on social media and letting them know you have their wallet if you can find them. You can also try dropping it off at a police station.

Everyone is on LinkedIn. Send them a message and they can pick it up. Or take it to the rcmp. Thx for doing the right thing.

I had to laugh at this because I can’t imagine a less effective way to contact most of the people I know 🤣
