A small lost-and-found moment that says a lot about the festival community
A photo making the rounds shows a leather wallet beside a crumpled handwritten note — the kind of scene that only comes out of festival life. The finder says they came across the wallet at the Glastonbury car park, months after the festival, and only just tracked down the owner to return it.
If I see you in the fields, I owe you a beer.
The note is blunt and charming: an apology for the delay (“to be completely honest with you, I forgot all about it”), a short explanation of where it was found, and a sign-off that the finder is from Liverpool with a hope their paths cross again at future Glastonbury fields.
- It’s a reminder that festival communities still look out for each other — even when stuff goes missing.
- Small, human gestures like a handwritten note can go viral because they capture that messy, kind energy of festivals.
- Lost property sometimes turns up in the strangest places; always check local forums and lost-and-found posts after a big weekend.
Call it a minor miracle or just good manners — either way, it’s the kind of quiet, warm story that reminds everyone why we keep going back to fields and stages. Bring cash, bring ID, and if you lose something: don’t be surprised when a stranger offers a beer as thanks for getting your stuff back.
