A mechanic in Minnesota found a wallet under the hood of a 2015 Ford Edge, which belonged to a Michigan Ford assembly plant worker and had been lost for 11 years.

Chad Volk, owner of LC Car Care in Lake Crystal, Minnesota, made the discovery while replacing the cooling fans and removing the airbox, he reported to KARE 11.

When the airbox would not fit when he attempted to put it back into place, Volk had to investigate the problem.

“And that’s where the wallet was,” Volk told KARE 11.

After being built, the Ford traveled to a dealership in Arizona and eventually arrived in Lake Crystal. More than 150,000 miles later, Volk found the wallet.

After exchanging Facebook messages, Volk mailed the wallet to Guilford’s home in Petersburg, Michigan.

“And there’s nothing wrong with the money at all,” said Guilford, who found $15 cash in the wallet.

“It’s well-traveled currency,” he added.

The wallet held cash, long-expired lottery tickets, and $250 in Cabela’s gift cards intended for buying Christmas gifts for the worker’s children 11 years ago.

Guilford said he checked with Cabela’s and was told the gift cards could still be used.

The two men spoke in a video chat just days after the wallet was found.

“I would have never, ever, figured in a million years that would still be there,” Guilford told Volk, according to KARE 11.

Chad replied that he was “going to have to start digging through cars more often, I guess, in the engine bays, and see if I can find something.”
