An Englishman was traveling from Zurich to Geneva in Switzerland by train when he lost his wallet, containing his passport, ID documents, money and various credit cards.  Police in Switzerland have finally managed to find the wallet and return it to its happy owner, 18 years down the line.

Chur city police said on Monday that the wallet had been found in a shopping center there last month.  The wallet was sent to the lost and found office at the police station, where the officers finally tracked down its owner, who is now living in the United States.

Whether the wallet still contained cash is unknown, but it looks like all his cards were there, no doubt expired, together with his long-expired passport.  No one knows how the wallet ended up in the Chur shopping center.

SDA news agency says the unidentified owner is surprised and happy that his wallet has been found, even if it is so many years later.
