Avrohom Levitt is a Queens real estate broker who, as he
puts it, tends “to lose things a lot.” He was celebrating Purim in Manhattan
when his wallet fell into a plastic bag in his car. He tossed the bag in a trash
can before heading home. He didn’t realize the wallet was missing until the weekend.
His wallet didn’t contain much – a few replaceable credit cards and $68 in cash
– but it also held his toddler’s passport card that he would need the following
Tuesday for a family trip to Poland. The New York sanitation department located
and held the garbage truck in question until Monday, then helped Avrohom sift
through 2,000 pounds of trash until the wallet was found. Louis Guglielmetti, a
supervisor who helped with the search, said, “I’ve been finding stuff in the
garbage for the last seven years, so I’m good at it.”
