Theiving git!
Running a bit late, due to soon-to-be-wife's miscalculations, so we rush on through security and, due to being in a tizzy, didn't watch my belongings in a basket as carefully as I should of. Said basket contained my wallet with my driving license (which had my address on it) and my front door key.

As I nip back for a second or five to help my partner, someone steps past, swipes my wallet and runs off to check their ill gotten gains. I don't realise until I come to buy some AA's for the camera...cue sheer panic as we are already cutting it close for boarding.

My wife-to-be is in tears, I'm one step away from assualting the numpties in security who won't look at the security tapes whilst I fill in a ridiculously long claim form whilst my mind races as to how I'm going to fix this up. Cancel credit cards, contact real estate agent to change the locks, join vigilante force to reduce thievery using torture and blunt spoons.

We jump on the plane, thankfully being one of two couples delaying the flight and I spend the next frantic few minutes alternately trying to calm my fiancee and telling her it wasn't my bloody fault!!!

On jumps my angel, wallet in hand saying it was turned in at one of the fast food places.

Joy gushed from every pore and I crushed the my angel to me like a rock to a limpet, kissing her repeatedly then dancing back to my chair in triumph.

Thank you to my parents for my length and girth.

Postscript: If you get deja vu reading this, it's cos I wrote about this back in Dec 04 in the "Lost" question :D
