A Chilliwack woman is singing the praises of her community after she got her stolen wallet back with the help of some helpful retail heroes.

Holly Boucher posted the story to a popular Facebook page to say she recovered her bank card, ID as well as the stolen wallet itself.

She did it by following the trail of stolen purchases through her mobile banking app.

The screenshot photo was given to her by an employee from one of the retail locations.

Boucher said someone stole the wallet on Friday or Saturday, and the alleged thief 香蕉视频直播渟pent hundreds of dollars before I even knew it was missing.香蕉视频直播�

She was told he bought it 香蕉视频直播渙ff of a man who found it on the ground香蕉视频直播� near McCammon Elementary, near the reserve.

But regardless how he came to possess the wallet, the alleged thief went 香蕉视频直播渁round Chilliwack leaving a paper trail by using my card,香蕉视频直播� she wrote.

She knows because she tracked the transactions, which totalled just under $500.

That effort brought her to the Mobil gas station in the Superstore parking lot. There she acquired the photo from the CCTV footage.

Armed with a visual, they were just hoping the guy would use the card one more time.

But there香蕉视频直播檚 always a risk in confronting potentially dangerous individuals in a situation like that, warned the RCMP spokesperson.
