Lost & Found Lost (and Found!) my money belt in Los Arcos

Time of past OR future Camino
Camino Frances, Sept 9, 2022...First One
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

Hey! Someone found it! It’s with the plaza restaurant
 
Oh no! I'm so sorry. I wonder where it would be turned in? Guardia Civil perhaps. Prayers that you find it!!

They had it at the restaurant and we have been reunited!!! Thanks to everyone in the square who called out and searched for me!!
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
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.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
