A Minnesota mechanic working on a 2015 Ford Edge discovered a wallet under the hood that was lost by a worker at a Ford plant in Michigan 11 years ago.
Chad Volk, owner of LC Car Care in Lake Crystal, Minn., was changing his car's cooling fans and pulled out the air filter when he came across the unusual find, he told KARE 11.
When the airbox didn't fit back when he tried to install it, Volk had to figure out the situation.
“This is where I found the wallet,” Volk told KARE 11.

“I decided to open this wallet and see what was inside,” he added.
Then Wolf dug into the leather wallet and found a Ford Motor Company ID card.
“I was amazed. Usually they find something else, mostly tools,” Volk told the Detroit Free Press. “I looked and saw a Ford Motor Co. badge. I thought, 'I'm going to try to find this guy and give this back to him.'”
He used Facebook to find retired auto mechanic Richard Guilford, who recalled the moment he discovered his wallet was missing.
“Is this your wallet?” asked the Wolf.
“The first question I asked was, 'Did you find this in the car?'” Guilford told the publication.
Guilford, who assembled Ford vehicles in Michigan, was working on the electrical system of Ford Edges when he lost his wallet on Christmas Eve 2014.
“I never wore sweatpants to work, but I decided to do it that day,” Guilford said. “And my wallet was in my shirt pocket.”
As Guilford leaned over the car, the wallet likely slipped out of his pocket and fell inside the car.

At about two o'clock in the morning he approached his colleague and reported that he had lost his wallet.
Several colleagues then helped Guilford search for his wallet.
“You know, there were 2,000 cars in the showroom and we couldn't find it,” he said.
Guilford noted that although he knew exactly what vehicles he was working on that shift, it didn't even occur to him to look under the air filter.
The Ford was then taken to a dealership in Arizona and then to Lake Crystal, where Wolf found the wallet after driving more than 150,000 miles.
After exchanging messages on Facebook, Wolf mailed the wallet to Guilford's address in Petersburg, Michigan.
“Luckily, the money is okay,” Guilford said after finding $15 in cash in his wallet.
“It's a currency that travels a lot,” he added.
In addition to cash and expired lottery tickets, the wallet contained $250 in Cabela's gift cards, which he intended to use 11 years ago to buy Christmas presents for his children.

Guilford said he contacted Cabela's and was told the gift cards were still valid.
The two men spoke via video link just days after the wallet was found.
