A few sleuthy social media users mind-melded to try to solve a mystery that was shared on Facebook Thursday after the discovery of a lost wallet in a parkade in downtown Calgary.
A posting by “Sa R Ah” asked Facebook users if they recognized a woman in a photo discovered inside the abandoned wallet.
The wallet, she said, “was stuffed deep inside a parkade in downtown Calgary” that her husband discovered while doing concrete repairs on the building.
The wallet contained a number of photos dated from 1969, along with some receipts from 1973.
There was also a love letter written in French to ‘Ma Cherie’, an appointment card for an optician, and receipts from a cable car, banking and hotels in Lausanne, Switzerland -- pretty much the makings of a Jason Bourne movie right there.
“My darling,” a translated version of the love letter says. “I thought about you a lot today. I hope you’re sad because I’m not too angry that I didn’t come. I worked until 6:30 I don’t know if I can,” it continued, somewhat unreliably, in computer-generated translated English.
