A man has been reunited with his wallet after it was found in a wall cavity more than 100 miles from his home - 35 years after it was stolen. John Steel, 45, lost the brown leather purse aged 10 when a thief climbed into his caravan while he was on holiday in Devon. But the square wallet - containing a photo of himself and a £1 note - turned up again during renovation work at a house in Shaldon, Devon, now owned by Shelley Davies.
