Two days ago, I went to a medical appointment at the BILH headquarter which is shaped like a circular arc with the multilevel parking structure situated at the center of circular arc directly opposite the building. You basically have two choices:

.1,  Pay $12 extra and have a valet park and retrieve the car for you  whien you are finsihed with your doctor appointment.

 2. park the car your self and return to the car yourself and paid the parking fee yourself upon exiting the garage.. 

During the recent heat wave, I did not want to wait for my car under the hot sun for the valet to retrieve the car. It is easier and faster just to cross the short space from the medocal building to the parking garage myself (this may be rationalization of my refugee mentality to avoid paying the extra valet parking fee). Anyway, I am also a believer about the phrase - Luck favor the prepared. Since it is difficult to retrieve your wallet from your backpocket while sitting in the car since it was a very hot day and no one is wearing a jecket. Some where between where my car was parked and the tollgate where I need to pay my parking fee when exiting, I must have stopped the car to take out my credit card and the parking ticket to put in my shirt pocket to be prepared to use the credit card for paying my parking fee. In this process I must have dropped my wallet ioutside the car in the garage building without realizing the error.. After exiting I felt the need for a cool drink and stopped at a restaurant to buy a drink. It was there I realized that I no longer have my wallet on me. In desperation, I rushed back to the parking garage and went in to trace my route. and as luck would have it, I manage to find my wallet on the ground in the garage before anyone else found it. HOW LUCKY CAN ONE GET ??!! Otherwise, the tasks of cancelling and getting all new IDs and credit cards in my wallet will be a huge stressful effort even if some kind soul will find my valet and return it to me and  never mind the more probale case it will be permanently lost since there was also considerable amount of cash it my wallet.
