WashijaSocial Security Card
The wallet also contained photos of her family members but the process of discovering personal items didn’t end at photos only. Betty also found her social security card, which she remembered searching for back in the 1940s. Except she didn’t know it was in her wallet, which had already been stolen by then.
Losing The Wallet
When asked what Betty thinks about the 15 wallets being found in the vent, she revealed she had no clue that her wallet had been stolen. She always assumed she had misplaced it somewhere. But the news of discovering 15 wallets was really surprising to Betty who said, “I can’t imagine somebody stole all those wallets and put them behind the toilet in a space I didn’t even know was there.”
Any Other Takers?
Meanwhile, Baltzell’s post was still on his facebook in hopes of finding more people but so far there have been no other finds. The post has hundreds of comments from people all around the country. A person even provided obituaries to account for four women on the list. But other than that, there is no news about any other wallet owner.
Appreciative Effort
After hearing about Betty’s story, the post blew up on multiple social media platforms. People were appreciating the efforts made by the pastor and talking about what an amazing discovery it was. A user suggested these wallets could be claimed by a museum if no other owner is found. However, many of the users were also wondering who the culprit might be.
A Serial Killer?
People were saying it was really smart on the culprit’s part to take the money and throw the wallets away because without the wallets it can’t be proven that they are the thief. Some people believed that hoarding wallets belonging to female students in a vent was creepy and had serial killer vibes written all over it!
Who Is The Culprit?
It is highly unlikely to find the culprit behind this act, the person who stole the wallets all those decades ago. Chances are, the culprit is not even alive today. But Betty was hopeful her school mates can get their lost wallets back and be rejoiced in the same way she was able to. “I’m sure the other people whose wallets they found – hopefully they’re still alive – would be as excited as I am”, she told the reported.
