Posting here for traffic...3 months ago I used my driving licence as ID to vote in the general election. When getting out the car at home, I put it on top of my car whilst getting some other bits out and the wind blew it off and into the surrounding driveway area. Despite looking extensively I couldn't find it so reluctantly ordered a new one from the dvla. Now the weird bit...I have just received a hand written signed for envelope containing the exact lost licence wrapped in bubble wrap with no other accompanying information like a note etc. when looking up the Royal Mail tracking number it was posted at a location a couple of hundred miles from my address. The weirdest bit is the post office is only a few miles down the road of a location I used to live in for several years. I guess my AIBU is am I being weird for being a little freaked out by this?! Also any ideas of how my lost licence travelled back to my old address, and then found it's way back to me 3 months later would be appreciated!

I'd assume a small child found it while on holiday and a parent found it later on wedged in the car seat.

I live in a cul de sac in a non tourist destination so unfortunately unlikely

Was it from Swansea, by any chance? It could be that someone has sent it to DVLA as lost property and they have sent it back to you from their head office in Swansea.

Nope nowhere near that location, and the envelope was hand written rather than from an official source if you get what I mean
