Lost wallet found

Nov 19, 2019 - On my walk this morning around the Kagoshima University campus, I found a women wallet on the sidewalk.  I brought it back to apartment so Sister Lee can help me take it to the nearest police station.  She says the police station may not be opened.  I guess in Japan, most police stations are not opened 24/7.  After 8 a.m. she called the station to make sure it was opened before we headed out.  When we got to the station, we found 2 young police officers.  They look young, like they just got out of high school.  Anyway, we filled out the paperwork.  It was interesting that they asked me if they can't find the owner, do I want to claim what I found.  I wonder if lost items turned into the police in USA are treated like that too.  Anyway, I hope they find the owner soon because there were a lot of credit cards in the wallet.  If I was an owner who lost my wallet with so many credit cards, I would dread having to make a lot of phone calls to cancel the old cards and get new ones.  What was amazing was we were the only ones at the police station.  It was early in the morning but I wonder if that isn't the norm since it is hard to imagine Japan, a nation of law abiding citizens, would have a high crime rate.
