ALTON, Ill.(AP)
Sandy Baumberger says she never expected to see her wallet again
when it was stolen 35 years ago.
But it has been found by a 30-year-old dental student who
tracked her down and returned it.
Eric Wherley says he found the wallet in a bathroom stall at
school after a water pipe broke and loosened some ceiling tiles.
The thief who stole the wallet apparently had hidden it in the drop
ceiling.
The dark-blue patent leather wallet contained Baumberger's
driver's license, library cards and Social Security card. It
also had her student ID, a grocery list, and cloth swatches from
her bridesmaids' dresses.
Baumberger says she and her husband are planning to give Wherley
a gift for his efforts.
