I went to the garage office, explained the situation, and asked if they could waive the usual $7 fee for a stay of under 20 minutes since I didn't have $7 - or even $1. They did. I then drove home, making sure not to do anything that would attract police attention (such as driving my bimmer as it was designed to be driven). There was the wallet, as I knew it would be; and there was the clock, reading 7:40. Too late to turn around again and head back.

So, there you have it. I'm sure everyone had a great time. Hope there's another before long!
Sorry to miss you, but hope that all turned out okay with your wallet! We'll have another in October.

Somehow I think you'll make it.
