Such a strange story does not happen every day, and certainly not every 34 years.
During a hike on the Dragot cliffs in the Judean Desert, hiking blogger Daniel Yitzanko spotted an unusual find on the ground.
"My friends and I were just on our way from the cliffs, and right between my legs I suddenly saw a closed, old-fashioned leather wallet," Yitzanko recalls.
"Of course I was intrigued and picked it up."
Indeed, this wallet hid in the desert for a very long time, until the skin shrank due to the desert cold and heat conditions.
"I took the wallet to my house, and under special conditions and sensitive care with the help of tweezers - I gently extracted what was inside it," he says.
The ID card found in the wallet,
The lost ATM,
The findings provided clear answers.
There were an identity card, a driver's license, a bank check from April 1987, a 12-month warranty on the Casio watch, old shekel bills, 10 shekels and 50 shekels, an ATM card from that period and more.
"I found a lot of papers and documents in my wallet," says Yitzanko.
"For example, a phone book with 6-digit numbers and prefixes that no longer exist."
Yitzanko decided to try to locate the lost owner according to the details of his identity card.
"I quickly got to the person's Facebook, who was very excited."
"I get excited every time they talk to me about it," admits wallet owner Motti Ben-Or in a conversation with Israel Today. twice.
"I lost him on a jeep trip in 1987. We were traveling, and I did not know where he fell to return to search. It really is a special closing circle."
