One nice Friday night when I was tired and barely walking after long week I threw into the trash my wallet with some cash, credit card, debit card, subway pass, driver license and US green card. Then I threw the trash into container next to my apartment building. Didn't remember a thing.

Next morning after more than ~1 hour of turning my apartment upside down I, out of desperation and thanks to intuition, dove into container and recovered my trash bag. Everything apart from cash survived.



The cash was destroyed by the garbage.. juices? Or someone found and took it?


Destroyed by the garbage. Cards survived due to being plastic. Wallet went to washing machine.


If it was any amount worth the effort, you could have sent it to https://bep.gov/services/currencyredemption.html


As someone who's done this, I can 2nd this comment.

Fire damage.
