STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - A wallet lost in southern Sweden more than 40 years ago has been returned to its owner -- with her cash still in it.
Gulli Wihlborg was 18 when she dropped it while cycling in the town of Trelleborg in the summer of 1963.
The wallet contained 45.54 crowns -- a sum she said was half her monthly rent at the time -- receipts and photographs. Its equivalent in today's money is about 412 crowns ($56).
It arrived in the mail at her home of 25 years in the nearby city of Malmo with a handwritten note, saying:
"Dear Gulli, never give up hope. Here is the wallet you dropped on Ostersjogatan (a street) many years ago. Greetings from Trelleborg."
