A man was reunited with his wallet after seven years

Andy Evans left the item, which contained his driving licence, bank cards and the cash in a taxi when he travelled back from a gig in June 2015.

The father-of-two assumed the wallet was gone forever when he stepped out of the cab in Manchester but has now received a package containing the item just as he had left it.

Evans said: "I just couldn't believe it. I thought, 'It can't be'. Seven years? No one I've told can believe it either.

"I texted my brother straight away as he had to lend me money on the night so I could stay out and keep partying, so he remembered it, and he's gobsmacked as well."

He added: "It appears it's been sat there wedged underneath the seat or something all this time, even by the sounds of it after this taxi came off the road.

"It's like 'Robinson Crusoe' or something. A message in a bottle coming back years later. You couldn't write it."
