A Plymouth man is celebrating the snappy return of his wallet after it was found being clutched by a lobster. The wallet was lost when Paul Westlake, 30, took a swim in Plymouth Sound with his brother after drinking in a pub.
It was handed in a few days later to Mr Westlake's hairdresser by a diver who had caught the lobster and found the creature firmly grasping it.
But he will be unable to thank the lobster who hung on to his wallet as it has now been eaten.
The wallet vanished when Mr Westlake was swimming with his 31-year-old brother, Paul Westlake.
It came to light again when the diver got in touch with the Associates hairdressing salon in Plymouth, which Mr Westlake uses. The diver, whose identity so far remains a mystery, handed the wallet in to the salon after finding a salon business card among the contents.
Mr Westlake collected it and found that the bank cards in it still worked despite immersion in sea water and the crush the lobster had on it. He said he had never eaten a lobster and now never would, and that he intended to keep the wallet because its return was a good luck omen.
