The postcard is addressed to Dave & Phil at 1086 Corona St. No. 24, Denver, CO 80218.
The Story: The sender, Allison, writes a harrowing (yet somehow upbeat) tale of being robbed in Mexico City. Her bag was slashed on a bus, and her money belt—containing $500 in cash and traveler's checks, her passport, and her air ticket—was stolen.
The Connection: She mentions going to the embassy to sort it out and is spending her last week "in the sun on the Mex. Riviera" before flying to NYC and then back to the U.K.
The Timeline: Based on the stamps and the mention of "flying to NYC on 25th Nov," this likely dates to the late 1980s, which places it right around the time of Phil's 1988 "Carousel" theater ticket.
