Man Loses Wallet. World wonders: Has Personal Media Gone Too Far?

May 1st, 2006 by Larry Smith

Man narrates his 12-minute wallet search. Read it and weep here.

Local man Kevin McCormick, 28, delivered a complete running commentary throughout a 12-minute search for the four-year-old, Velcro-fastened wallet he misplaced Sunday.

McCormick looking on his record shelf, a place he told himself he was “pretty sure” he left it.

The narration began in the late afternoon, when McCormick, a part-time pet-store attendant, announced his intention to visit a local taqueria for lunch. It was then that he first audibly noticed the wallet was missing.

“Oh shit,” he said. “I can’t find my wallet.”
