Lost wallet

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
In Jan 1999 i lost my wallet on a bus in Colchester (visiting my cousin while i was living in plymouth). tried everything to get it back but no luck.
For the previous christmas i was given a daily horoscope book for 1999, not believing in horoscopes particularly i didn't really look at it. then picked it up one day I think in May and it said "something you thought lost will be returned to you". the next day there was a knock at the door and postman delivered a parcel containing my lost wallet complete with £5 note, stamps, drivers licence etc still in it.
