Thanks to Columbia Sav A-Lot: Mom's wallet is home!!!

The wallet had been left in a cart at Mrs. Marcum's favorite Columbia store, our neighborhood Sav A Lot

By Linda Waggener

After overhauling every single piece of stuff in every spot in the house that could have had any of mom's stuff and after asking at every restaurant we'd visited, I gave up and put an appeal on ColumbiaMagazine.com.
Lost: Woman's Wallet, black patent leather, zippered, about the size of a large open hand. Last seen about 10 days ago in Columbia. Believe it may have been left in GoodWill or at one of the restaurants. If found please call 270-403-0017."
Five hours and 50 minutes later a woman named Devonna called to say it sounded like a wallet someone had left where she works. She gave me the store name - Sav A Lot - and the number, 384-6689, and Paul's name to ask and describe.

A call to Paul, identifying the name on the checks in the wallet, did the trick. He said they'd found it over a week ago laying in a grocery cart and tried to look up the name on the checks in the phone book and found no one by that name in the Columbia area phone book.

We owe Devonna and Paul and the staff at Sav A Lot a heartfelt thank-you for their honesty and good customer service. They had kept it in the safe until identification could be made.
