Rudolph R. Resta, 77, lost his wallet way back in 1971 at the old lair of The New York Times. Luckily for Triple R (as he’d be known if he were ever to enter a cage match), current building (now known as the Times Square Building) security guard José Cisneros found the wallet when he explored a void between an unused window and the masonry seal behind it. The wallet still contained identification, which is how it was linked back to Resta. The wallet contained old pictures of his sons, wife, credit card, business cards, and even a eulogy for Robert F. Kennedy. Check out more pictures of the wallet’s contents over at The New York Times.
