We have read a lot of news about letters or postcards were received after many years. Here’s another similar story but the item this time is a wallet of a New York woman, which was stolen by a pickpocket 27-year ago but found and returned to her recently.

The wallet, which was found in a hollow tree, contained Ruth Bendik’s driver’s licence and bank cards, though $20 was missing, CNN reports.

The discovery was made by tree-care supervisor Josh Galiley, who was chopping down the dead black cherry tree near Rumsey Playfield in Central Park.

Galiley said: “When you’re cutting a tree and it’s hollow, you expect stuff inside, shreds of material, old marbles, really just knickknacks compared to this. Nothing with a story.

“We peeked in and there were dates from the early ’80s. We figured this was different.”
