SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS RADIO) – Here's a news story that boldly goes where no news story has gone before.
Famed actor William Shatner's wallet was found in a corn bin at a Gilroy, California fruit stand last week – a true story that seemingly was plucked from a page in Mad Libs.
The 91-year-old actor – best known for portraying Captain James T. Kirk for decades on "Star Trek" – was visiting the Fruit Barn on the Pacheco Pass Highway on July 20, according to reporting from KGO.
The staff at the popular stand found the wallet in the corn bin, prompting the owner of B&T Farms, Gary Tognetti, to contact a friend at the Gilroy Police Department. Tognetti told the outlet he thinks Shatner walked over to the bin, leaned down to pick up some items and his wallet fell out of his pocket.
