Not lost but wasnt far off. Got paid by a client for some wedding photography in cash, about £650 in an envelope and then went round town with it in my pocket. Got to the end of the night and im stood at the burger van, was just about to walk away after getting my food but for some reason looked on the floor and my evelope full of cash was just sat there, so lucky 
I did something similar in Orlando. First day there, wallet with about $400 in, and I left in on a counter in a shop after trying something on. Lukcily somebody handed it in and I got it all back

£50 after I left it hanging out of a cash machine by mistake, took my card and just fucked off without the cash. General life stress at the time + being in a rush ended up equalling me being a retard.

Well I suppose you could say this money was 'Lost' 
When I was 18 I used to hang around with my sisters fella quite a lot, basically getting stoned and drinking etc. He got me into betting on hoarses so pretty much most days we'd put on an ecumilator or similar and watch the races if they were on.
One weekend we'd written our bets on a proper sheet and one of us was about to go put it on. My sister was leaving for the shop which was just around the corner so we gave her the money and sheet as the bookies was next door to the shop.
She left and we watched each race, EVERY hoarse romped home with some being 25/30-1 shots. We were literally bouncing the house and saying what we were going to do with the money etc. My sister hadn't come back at this point which was weird but our mum lived 2 minutes away from the shops.
My sister came back about an hour later and we ran towards her screaming and shouting about how much we won!!
Then she sais.....
I didn't have enough money for the shopping so I used the bet money           
What would we have won? £87,000 still haven't properley forgiven her and never made a bet on the hoarses since, not even the national.

Spent loads on this machine too!
So unpredictable at times, and fact you can go up top board with any win whatsoever, makes it hard to walk away
