I don't usually hate Mondays. However, getting ready to leave for work this morning - "where's my wallet?"
Huh. Not on table, not on dresser. Must be in box from event Saturday, or in wife's purse.
Nope. Okay, now I'm concerned. Check car. Now I'm worried. Get wife up and have her look everywhere she can think of while I turn house and car upside-down several times.

Still nothing. The last time I knew I had it was at Skyline Park Saturday. I'm not seeing any activity on the credit cards, so I'm hoping that the wallet is somewhere in the house. I really don't want to have to get all new cards, driver's license, and so forth. That's far more annoying than losing the just-gone-to-the-ATM cash in the wallet.

Make it credit-card size, embed an RFID chip, and/or run it on a tiny battery, and I think you'd seriously have a million-dollar idea there. ET Phone Home and then you could log into a website to find the GPS coodinates of your wallet. Go geocaching to find it and there you go!

I wonder how many people subscribe to OnStar car helpline and the "I've fallen and I can't get up" necklace beacon.

At least enough to pay for the commercials, I'd guess. I bet as many people lose their wallets as get worried about falling in their homes alone.

personal anecdote time!

My grandma subscribes to the necklace beacon. The last time she fell, she was on the ground trying to get up for hours before she caved and decided to push the button.

They're not that effective in her case, apparently.
