Kicker: Assembly line surprise

Editor's note: The following text is a transcript of a podcast story. To listen to the story, click on the arrow beneath the headline above.

NICK EICHER, HOST: Eleven years ago at a Ford plant in Michigan, automaker Richard Guilford lost his wallet. Apparently, it’d slipped from his shirt pocket and vanished somewhere on the line. Audio from CBS News:

GUILFORD: I checked, and I'm like, Smitty, I lost my wallet. So we all went out, tried to look, you know, there was two thousand cars out there.

EICHER: Yeah, needle in a haystack.

Well, more than a decade and 150,000 miles later? A mechanic in Minnesota was working on a certain Ford Edge. He pulled out the cooling fan, and guess what he found! Wallet, cash, gift cards, all intact.

And instead of putting it in his own pocket, Chad Volk tracked down Richard Guilford.

VOLK: It’s the way I was raised.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Makes a momma proud!

EICHER: Yep, a wallet lost on the assembly line, and a man raised on where to draw the ethical one.
