65-Year-Old Wallet Found Behind Movie Theater Bathroom Wall 

Let me take this opportunity and appreciate the work by the designer of this wallet for its quality

What a heartwarming story. Sadly, Mrs. Floy Culbreth never saw her wallet again until she passed away

It warms my heart knowing good people like this couple still live in this world, I’m sure that wallet will be a treasured memory for the son and daughter who now have a piece of their mother with them! God bless these good samaritans!

When i was renovating my 3 bedroom flat in London earlier this year i managed to find so many things like cigarette boxes from the 60-70’s. There was also pieces of newspapers but the main and probably the most important thing i found was really old coins. We British people use pounds now but back then it was things like crowns and shillings. It got me into coin collecting i have a massive collection now. There was also a painting signed and dated 1975, the artist was a Jewish man who lived in London as is still alive today!

Rest in Peace to both Roy & Floy Culbreth 🙏

This reminds me of a similar story a few years ago, where a teenager girl's purse was discovered under her high school's auditorium stage. It had been there since the 1950s.

This is so better sweet 😢! I wish Flo had lived long enough to be reunited with her wallet. I’m glad her family got to have it after all these years!

What a nice surprise ... props for finding the fam to reunite the wallet. This story is priceless 💖💖💖

I'm wondering why she put the wallet in the wall? Was there cash inside? I'm wondering if someone nabbed the wallet...took the cash and then hid the rest in this spot? Very interesting story!

I hate when I loose my wallet in a small hole in a wall. What most likely happened was a thief pocketed the money and placed it in there.

How sweet of the folks that found it to make the effort to find the owner. Those photos will be forever treasured by that family.

I've started to collect vintage items. It's something to have your hands on something from years ago.

I don't know what it is about photos from the past that makes one sad and happy at the same time. How magical and nostalgic for the family. Wonderful.❤

The past is always more interesting to me than the future. Cause it allows us to see how far we've come as a civilization.

I live near Atlanta... the Plaza Theater is a time capsule itself. I love going there to see "old" movies. It makes me feel as though there for the first time. A wonderful place I hope does not go away ❤

This is such a beautiful story!! So glad they were able to get in touch with their family members. 🥺💗

When I was 19 I worked in a XXX movie theater. Cleaning up one night I found a wallet. Next day I called the person (he was a lawyer in the next town over) to tell him I found his wallet, he asked me where and I told him. He said, that’s not mine… I said what should I do with it and he said , I don’t care it’s not mine!! So I took out the $80 and threw the wallet in the river… I still remember his name

What a meaningful time for this family to share together. You can tell it was a big deal because the whole family is gathered.

What's also amazing these days is that a movie theater has been in business since 1958. So many theaters have gone out of business or the chains have built new megaplexes and closed the older, smaller ones.

What a cool story. I LOVE that the entire family arrived to the theater to hug it out.

My Mom passed in 2020 at 93. I was going through her things when I sold my house. I came across her wallet, her WWII ration book, a small notebook and other old documents. I even found a handwritten note to me telling me where her important papers were. Just seeing her face on them and just seeing her writing just turned the floodgates on like 3 years hadn't passed since she left us. I get how that lady's kids felt.

This is so touching. ❤️ It would be really neat if the couple remained friends with the Culbreth Family!

Wow she looks a lot like her mom. This was absolutely beautiful!! And what a very cute story ❤

Such a beautiful ending❤.

The joy they have shown makes me know that I'm okay saving my mom's purse and some other items from grandmother's after they passed. When I've looked at them I remember and hopefully it will be a look into their lives for later family members. I will never throw them away. I am not a hoarder! ❤ Love my relatives.

Wow. That is just amazing ❤

What a touching loving story ❤❤❤

This must have been such an expected experience for Floy's children. This was so wonderful to hear about!

Wow. What an absolutely magical moment. If we think about it, all the things we carry with us could be precious to someone else in the future. Our rampant consumerism has made us devalue older things, always purchasing and moving on to newer shinier things.

My heart heart aches so deeply for a bygone past.

she’s so beautiful! i’m glad she was able to be reunited with such a precious belonging

Woah ! my dad born in 1961. still way back.... 1958 wallet still preserved beautifully with handsome boy and pretty girl photo, non of the color fade. This is really nice antique. Feel bad for romantic couple unable to find the wallet that day... the movie night, what a dating.

Absolutely love this story! What a beautiful gift.

This is such a great story. I love seeing this kind of reporting/journalism. Thank you. 👍

"Mrs. Roy..." It's downright unsettling that women didn't just take their husbands' last names, but (essentially) their first names as well!

This is one of the most amazing stories I ever read! Awesome! It's like a time machine.... seeing those photos...I bet a flood of wonderful memories came to her mind and heart!God bless her and the family!!

Love the heart warming stories. More of these please.

Just came across this amazing story. My late father-in-law, a Culbreth, himself, was a first-cousin of Roy.

What an incredible story - More story's like this please Inside Edition

Great story! Love hearing something positive in these bleak times. TY for reporting this!

As someone who is almost 31 and genuinely is and FEELS like an elderly person who is reaching the end, there’s something so beautiful about finding something of such a distant past.

What a beautiful story ❤

Amazing. I'm soo happy for the family!

Glad they found it and got it to the family. 00:26 But a reminder of when a woman's name was "Mrs.", then her husband's name because she could not qualify for credit on her own. It wasn't until 1974 that the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) made it legal for women to get credit without a man's co-signature.

She was probably devastated that night; I mean it is a pain to try to get new ID cards and it's a great wallet too! But, what a great find and fun evening for the family!

This is amazing! In 2018 at my high school there was this locker that had been locked shut for about 50 years and no one was able to figure out the combination to open it. One day, the school decided to finally open it by removing the locker door, and old text books, notes, papers, and even music records from the late 60s or early 70s were found. It was so cool and a true time capsule. After that, the locker got a new door and lock and some students put a few items in there for the people at school to open in another 50 years.

I live in the area of the Plaza Drugs Store and the movie theatre. This place is an Atlanta Landmark, and the Drug Store was known for being open for 24 hours a day. The old commercial just ran for years until the Drug Store was bought out. This was a great time capsule. Wish they gave a little more history of the building. It is really unique.

What wondeful ppl, returning her wallet. Its too bad it was found after Roy passed away but it is a window for the rest of the family and sweet memories it seems for Floy.

The most striking aspect of the story is the reminder of how woman were referred to by their husband’s name. 😳

It is a lovely story. What an exiting find and time capsule!

And sweet that the family still lives nearby ❤

It's nice these kinds of stories every now and then

There’s a saying that if u lose something that belong to u it will go back to u . Im glad her daughter got it atleast and saw all the amazing memories of her mother . ❤

Absolutely incredible! Fantastic!

Oh thanks I've been missing my wallet for a while now. Can I come pick it up?

Omg this is so good!❤beautiful!!!

It's amazing how recently it was that women couldn't even use their own names on an ID card. They had to use their husbands. I imagine it was so she could use his credit cards. Women couldn't have one in their name.

That's incredible. What a story.

This is such a great story.🥰

This is so wonderful.

That is awesome

Glad that it was found and returned

One of those stories that internet is actually used for something good ❤️ Bless them all!

Cool. I love seeing old stuff.

Such a very amazing story.

Now this is a great story. Please find more.

wow that is a crazy find!

Cool! Nice. Thanks for this fun story. ☺️

Priceless I really do love this!

Such sweet people, it seems, how they speak, in regards to each other and their mom. A very endearing heartfelt story about keepsakes, memories, the love and loss of a loved one. Maybe a comforting sign at random that they found the items after all so long, as perhaps God intended them to. Glad they found each other for the reunion.

Beautiful story ❤

So cool!

What a precious gift💗⭐

That’s so exciting for the family. I’m glad they were able to return it to them. Too bad she wasn’t alive to get it.

That’s amazing!
