Wallet Found Inside Giant Shark
February 22nd, 2008
When fishermen off the Monterey Coast hoisted the 16-foot, 2,000 lb shark they caught, a wallet fell out of the it’s mouth!
But the owner of the wallet wasn’t in there… just a couple sea gulls and a few furry sea creatures.
The wallet has both Japanese and English writing on it and has a date of 1972, but no I.D. inside, which mean the owner’s whereabouts remain a mystery. Or maybe they just got digested…
The captain shared the edible parts of the shark with his crew, but said he kept the wallet for himself.

A little creepy… It’d be interesting if they figured out who the owner was.
Anybody missing a dude from the 70s?
Why is the “Mens group” card in such good condition? shouldnt it be digested if it had really been in him for so long? second of all where could it have been? it shouldve passed through his digestive system somehow, and not just “fall out” as if it had been in the sharks mouth. doesnt it sound like the shark had recently found the wallet and swallowed it?they should check the wallet to see if it is a new brand or old. maybe its some dude’s who just carries around old papers in his wallet.
Some people have little nooks and crannies in their intestinal tracts. They are not supposed to eat things like sesame seeds because they are swallowed whole and sometimes get lodged in there and cause infections. Maybe this wallet found a nook and cranny to hide out in, while his owner went on to become shark poop.
Is that a seven-gill cowshark? Cant make it out
wouldnt the digestive juices still have some effect during these 20-30 years it had been there?
I mean the wallet and what was inside it looks like they were in a pretty good condition when the wallet fell out. besides wouldnt it be odd that it would just fall out from the mouth? out of the nook, through the intestines, through the stomach, through the esophagus, and out the mouth? just like that? unless there was vomiting going on
Somebody could’ve dropped the wallet some 20-30 years ago somewhere in the vast ocean, and maybe it’s just a coincidence that the shark recently found it and swallowed it. They do eat most everything, you know [including trash].
i know thats what im thinking. makes much more sense than the shark eating some guy in the 70s and then the wallet getting lodged in the digestive tract un-digested.
I think the old guy in the last photo probably dropped and just didn’t want to admit that he had a Mens Group card.
