Wallet Wonders

I was about to go for a drive and couldn't find my wallet. Asking a roommate to help locate it I surmised it must be in the last place I used it. We drove to the local department store where the night before I had made a purchase in the electronics department. My friend searched the parking lot. I believed the likelihood of it being in the lot remote and proceeded directly to electronics. A clerk informed me the wallet had been found and put in the vault. I proceed to the vault, once there, I was told the person was on lunch. As I waited, my slightly frantic friend arrived thinking they had lost me and the wallet. I reassured my friend and soon after my wallet was retrieved.<br /> Now, here is the story if you think in percentages.<br /> My friend, seeing as they were in the store, decided they needed to make a purchase, and I in tail proceeded off behind them. Now, as they wandered through the store I glanced down aisles, and there 3/4 of the way down one, was an elderly lady struggling for a jar out of reach. I, having been in these situations too many times to recall, walked down and helped the lady knowing this was part and parcel to "losing" my wallet, but know from experience, if you play the percentages it all works for the better.
