My wallets can't possibly fall out of my front pockets.

Yep I to carry my wallet in my front pocket, or should I say carried. Guess what? It fell out. On the pulblic bus <img src="images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> on Tuesday. After much ringing around to every bus company and lost propety place within a 30 mile radius, I still didn't find it. It contains my college ID with my name so i thought someone might hand it in, but no joy. It contained my cards, which I cancelled, my bus pass and the receipt that I needed to get my next 2 bus passes (worth £150) and various survival items. <img src="images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Slightly irritating.

I keep two wallets - one in the back pocket with a little money and some stuff I wouldn't mind losing, and a separate one in the front pocket which I take great care to be sure it folds flat (so no bulge due to wallet).

This way, if some geek runs up to me with a knife demanding my money (urban survival...) I have something to hand him/her. Usually they just want to get away in a hurry, so they'll take off with that. And if he/she makes me start turning my pockets out you can bet I'll keep him busy handing him useless (from his perspective) stuff <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

What kind of trousers were you wearing? Jeans? Dockers? I could see that happening if the trousers had the kind of front pockets where the opening travels vertically down the leg, following and sometimes right on top of the outer seam of the leg.

They were loose corduroy trousers. the opening of the pocket follows the line of the seam down the side. This way anything in the pocket is pretty vunrable to falling out.
