I would've gone back. Along the way, I'd call and cancel the credit cards and the gift cards (if possible) in case someone tried to use them or copied down the numbers to use later. Don't carry your SS card in your wallet, there's no reason to. The only time you need it is if you are starting at a new job. And if you do get your wallet back with the cash still in it, take some cash out and give it to the finder as a reward for his or her honesty.

if at all possible, and not trust the mail nor burden the restaraunt staff with returning it. Many people recommend that we not send cash by USPS. And even correctly addressed mail goes to the wrong place. I know I get some addressed to random intended recipiants. Unless your wallet was sent Certified return receipt or something similar, there will be no record and you may very well never see it.

Isn't it possible that it was lost in the mail? I've had b-day cards with checks in them go missing in the mailing many times. In fact, it happened enough times that I no longer mail anything at all. Did you call them back ask them if they mailed it? If, by chance, they had a wrong addy on it, it might've wound up in mail Limbo (aka dead letter office).
