Maybe not. I had almost the exact same thing happen to me a while back (except my wallet likely fell out of my bag and was not actually stolen). The postman who delivered the package told me that someone probably found the wallet and dropped it off at the nearest post office.
My sister-in-law had her wallet stolen. The thief took the money and threw the wallet in the mail box. The post office returned her wallet.
Found a wallet once. Destroyed the CCs and called the owner to tell him I had done so and would drop the wallet in the mail. He told me to keep the money. I did.

Actually, she knows exactly when it was stolen. Pretty slick operation. The thieves were two people working together. She was waiting for a city bus with several other people. When the bus arrived, one of them made sure to get in front of her while the other was behind her. They planned it so that when she was standing on the steps, the front guy caused a hold up at the top by complaining to the driver that all he had was a twenty. Naturally, a bus driver is not going to break a twenty. The stall allowed enough time and opportunity for the guy behind her to get wallet out of her bag. The front guy then gets off the bus, the back guy never gets on the bus, and my sister realized what had happened only after the bus had started down the road.
