Time Capsule Experience

When the woman picked up the red wallet on Friday, which is now brownish with age, she was astonished and shared that it was like opening a 'time capsule.'

Tom Stevens, the employee who discovered the wallet said that he would have never imagined finding the lost wallet. He then stated that he located the wallet among old candy bar wrappers, ticket stubs, and soda cans.

According to the U.S. News, Stevens stated in an interview that he chose social media as his way of locating the owner based on clues in the wallet. The clues include old photos, a concert ticket of the 1973 Grateful Dead concert, and an expired California's driver license for Colleen Dustin that was overdue in 1976. There was no money found in the wallet.

Moreover, Stevens then utilized the social media page of the theater in asking the community if anyone knows the owner of the wallet, Colleen Dustin. He mentioned in his post that they have found the wallet while doing some maintenance in the theatre. Steven also said that there were a bunch of pictures of people and they are super cool from that era.

Also, Steven stated in the post that if someone may want the photos and the belongings in the wallet or even knows Colleen, he asked for a line and they will have it for who will recover it.

In addition, the boss of Stevens, Loanne Wullaert, suggested posting the information on social media. Wullaert shared Monday that they were at 1,000 shares, which is an unbelievable amount of comments and interactions even on other social media platforms. Stevens' boss also said that it's cool that people care and are interested in helping, Coast Reporter reported.

Furthermore, Colleen Distin, who grew up and remained a resident of Ventura, said that she heard a lot from people online. She even received a call about the post on social media regarding her lost wallet. She responded on May 25 that the wallet was hers, a couple of hours after the post circulated online, Ventura County Star reported.

Distin shared that she lost the wallet in 1975, when she was only in her early 20s, at what was then a movie theater. She said that it must have fallen through a hole in her purse, which she had placed on the theater floor. At the time, Distin said that her wallet held a $200 check and family photos.

Distin also stated that she remembered calling the next day when she realized that her wallet was gone. They said that no one found the wallet and reminded her to call back in case someone might find it..

When she looked through her wallet, Distin shared that it contained poetry and notes, and photographs of high school friends. It also includes the $5 ticket to a Grateful Dead concert at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the photos of Distin's mother, who died several years ago.
