Man Receives 'Brutally Honest' Letter From 'Robin Hood' After Losing Wallet At Concert

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- There might be a Robin Hood in New York.

Reilly Flaherty, 28, of the Lower East Side, recently received a "brutally honest" letter after losing his wallet earlier this month at a Wilco show.

"I found your wallet and your drivers license had your address so here's your credit cards and other important stuff," the letter reads. "I kept the cash because I needed weed, the metrocard because well the fare's $2.75 now, and the wallet cause it's kinda cool. Enjoy the rest of your day. Toodles, Anonymous."

Flaherty told the New York Post he found the letter funny at first, but started to get angry.

"I quickly went from being hysterical to like, this guy is selfish," he told the Post.

Flaherty went back to King's Theater in Brooklyn on Feb. 5 to look for his wallet, but thought it was gone for good until he received the letter.

"I was perplexed by this plain white envelope. Is this anthrax?" he told the Post. "I open it up and sure enough, it's just the credit card and pretty much everything that's of no value to me."

Flaherty wouldn't say how much money was in the wallet, but joked this person is the new Robin Hood.

"Whether it was a dollar or a thousand, [this person] is a pot-smoking, modern-day version of Robin Hood," he explained to the Post.

Flaherty even believes the two might have been friends in another lifetime.

"I would say, 'Man, we would've gotten along – we're both into Wilco – but you turned out to be super selfish," he said. "It speaks to the New York mentality: I'm going to be nice, but there's going to be an asterisk."

Flaherty canceled his credit cards and replaced his license by the time he received the letter.
