I was cycling home yesterday afternoon, and about 3 miles from my house I passed a large lorry parked in a layby while the driver was on his phone. As I passed, he started gesticulating with his free arm in my direction, but I couldn't see any reason for it, and wasn't sure that he wasn't just waving his arm expansively as part of his conversation on the phone. It vaguely occurred to me he could be telling me to get on the cycle path opposite, but even that didn't feel quite right. Anyway, I rode on and thought no more about it.
10 minutes after I got home the doorbell rang. There was a huge articulated trailer across my drive, and the driver handed me the wallet that had dropped from my pocket on the road 3 miles earlier. He had found my driving licence in it and traced my address.
I thanked him profusely, he seemed like a nice chap, and then he was off in his truck. I didn't even register the name of the haulage company, to send them a thankyou email. It was a blue lorry.
If anyone overhears a lorry driver telling how he took a dozy cyclist's wallet back to him, do thank him for me.
