A belated realisation
The incident came to light when an unnamed Bengaluru man shared his experience on the popular online forum, Reddit. Recounting a rather stressful situation that ultimately ended in sheer relief, the commuter wrote: "I lost my wallet in a cab. When I got home, I realised I had left it in the cab four days earlier.

The relieved passenger aptly shared the post with a title that simply reads: "Beauty of Bengaluru".
Praise and admiration pour in
