Claudia Parfitt didn’t anticipate detective work when she volunteered to pull invasive plants in a park near her Saanich home.
“I was just pulling ivy and I pulled up this wallet,” Parfitt said last week at Bruce Hutchison Park.
After scrubbing decades of muck from the red wallet she discovered a social insurance card, driver’s license and a 1977-78 Oak Bay senior secondary ID belonging to Nicola Mary Ker.
Parfitt phoned all the Kers listed in the Greater Victoria phone book, but had no luck tracking down the owner. She assumes Ker married and changed her name, or moved away.
“It would be nice to return it to her,” Parfitt said.
