Shelly's wallet was a personal possession of Shelly Finkelstein. It contained the usual contents of a wallet, such as cash, credit cards and identification, but also one of Shelly's most valued possessions: a photograph of himself posing with his mother.
The wallet first came into the plot in a grocery store in town when both Shelly and Vera went to town in Rick's car for groceries for the Wild Bunch. Vera attempted to pay for the purchase with a government food stamp from her pocket, only to be told by the cashier they are unacceptable at her business. Shelly gave his wallet to Vera to pay for the groceries, but was then harassed by three motorbike riders. In the fracas and subsequent escape, Vera forgot to return the wallet to Shelly.
After Shelly walked off after Vera had chastised him from playing another prank, she took the wallet out of her pocket realizing she forgot to give it back to him and looked at the picture of him and his mother. Touched by this, she sympathized with him and decided to find him, talk to him, and return to him his wallet but she dropped it in the lake by accident. Just as she got the wallet out of the lake, she saw a person that she thought was Shelly and tried explain but was killed by a harpoon to the eye after she realized it wasn't Shelly. The wallet dropped to the ground as Vera fell into the lake. After the massacre, it was found by the police during their and the paramedics recovery of the bodies and investigation of the area but that was never shown. Shelly's wallet and his "whole world" still in his box (including the hockey mask) was buried with Shelly's corpse, after the picture was taken out.
It was the last bit of her would-be boyfriend she ever saw again before she died.
