I Got My Wallet Back!
Submitted by: Lyly
Paris, FranceMore grateful than ever.
First I would like to thank Rhonda for sharing The Secret and for writing such amazing books. The Secret helped me in many ways in my life but I would like to share something that just happened to me.
My wallet got stolen at a friend’s party. But I managed to get it back 2 weeks later.
I went to a birthday party I was invited to with a friend. The host invited a bunch of people that he didn’t know.
Around 4 am I decided to leave and was already outside when I realized my wallet was gone. There is no way I could have lost it as I saw it when I closed my bag when I arrived. Around 60 people came over for the party and I couldn’t tell who it was. I informed the ones left though I didn’t know anyone who had left. But they were so kind to help and called to put a stop on my credit card so the thief can’t use it.
I never carry cash around so I knew no money would be taken, but all the important documents that were in my wallet had to be done again. And it cost a lot of money, even if you have it stolen, and takes a lot of time, appointments and waiting and I didn’t not want to deal with that. I calculated and I would have to pay around 250 euros to get new copies of all my documents i.e. driving licence, papers for my car, ID etc.
I did not worry about it and kept my cool during the whole incident, I went to the police and made a deposition the next day.
As I got home I remembered The Magic book. I remembered a story when Rhonda talked about her daughter losing her wallet and getting it back.
I decided to do the same thing and imagine myself happy to have my wallet back.
I made a gratefulness list where I was thanking the police officer that took my deposition and any security system that I benefit from that keeps me safe no matter what. I thanked every single person working in the security field for making the world a safer place and for keeping me safe at all times.
I did not start any form to get a new ID and stuff, I just felt thankful that my wallet was returned.
Everytime my friends talked about my wallet, feeling sorry for me and telling me how annoying it must be to have to pay and make all those forms again, I would just tell them the truth. I didn’t fill out any forms because I know justice will be done and my wallet will be return to a police office. I didn’t know how it would happen but I knew it would. I was planning on waiting 2 weeks and to call every single police office in Paris to ask if they found my wallet.
One day before the 2 weeks was up, I received a phone call from a blocked number. On the phone was the police officer telling me they have various documents belonging to me, my ID, papers for my car, etc. I was so happy! I asked if they had my wallet and they said no, but I should come over.
I went there and I saw my wallet on the desk of the police officer! It had the ID’s of several different people, the thief was using it to store the rest of the things she stole. They told me my wallet was found in a hotel room and that it’s the maid who called the police, as she found various ID’s and credit cards when she was cleaning.
I am so happy and thankful, I now am like I envisioned. Me holding happily my wallet with all my important documents in it!
I don’t know what will happen to that thief, she had her own ID in the room, so the police could identify her. I didn’t know the girl well, but we had been talking and joking around at the party.
I don’t plan to press charges charges against her. I hope she will learn the lesson this time and she finds her way to a better path. The officer told me it was not her first time and that she already went to jail for similar acts. I hope this is going to be the last time and that she finally understands that bad actions leads to bad consequences.
Again the The Secret proved that it works both ways, for good and bad.
Anyways, I can’t stop feeling grateful towards the maid. I really hope that she gets lots of blessings from the Universe.
Thank you for reading!
