100% fake for Internet points. That shit would have washed out to sea or sunk in the ocean.

  • She lives on a private island so she walks the beach daily and cleans trash from it.

  • She lost the wallet when boarding a boat on the island so it didn’t travel that far.

One good storm would’ve washed it back onto the land.
