  • Guilford had lost the wallet in 2014 while working at a Ford factory in Michigan.
  • The mechanic, Chad Volk, found the wallet in June while repairing the car, which had travelled 151,000 miles.
  • Guilford said: "It restores your faith in humanity that people will say, ‘Hey, you lost this, I found this, I’m going to get it back to you'."
