    Was out with my daughter and her friend, and we found a wallet on the ground. The friend picked it up and immediately handed it to me, and now I’m ‘what am I meant to do with it?’. But only in my head, because I’m the grown up who just can deal with everything.

        It felt wrong to put it in my bag, so I held it out in front of me like a dirty nappy, and took it to the nearby shopping centre’s concierge.

          Yep: you gotta hold it so that it’s clearly visible as not in your pocket and thus claimed by you.

          This, oddly, seems to be The Way.
