I was just at La Caixa Bank and between there and the square I lost my money belt.
It had cash and a backup bank cards in the name of Margaret Schmidt.
I'm hoping it just fell out of my bag and someone turned it in.
Please pm me if you found it.
Thank you

Oh no! I'm so sorry. I wonder where it would be turned in? Guardia Civil perhaps. Prayers that you find it!!

Just saw this post on the Camigas Facebook group. It has been found. I alerted the Facebook poster to this thread. Hopefully Margaret and her money belt will be reunited soon!

Very awesome you and your money belt we’re reunited! But how did it get separated from your body? It should never come off until one is in the shower, and even then, it should be in there with you. Hopefully the strap was not cut by a thief. They now have ones where the strap cannot be cut with a knife. Just an FYI for future consideration.

I think this is unbelievably fabulous! And unexpected. Great work by all who contributed in various ways.

A similar story (with a happy ending) that shows that you're not the only one.
