Findings|“Many people wouldn’t pass that test,” said a relative of the woman who lost the money.
Woman was shocked when he came home from the store: the envelope containing $12,000 had disappeared, says the US newspaper The Washington Post (WP). In euros, the amount is slightly less than 11,000.
The woman living in Britain always had that sum of money with her. In his opinion, keeping the money with him was safer than putting it elsewhere.
The woman suspected that the envelope had fallen either in the parking lot or in the store. He told his suspicions to a relative, whom he called in distress.
According to WP, the two returned to the store together. The merchant looked at the surveillance camera recording, but it did not clarify the situation.
The woman was upset because she had planned to give the money to her children.
Twosome was just about to leave when the merchant ran up to them. The situation was resolved because the customer had just brought the envelope to the counter of the store. All the money was in the deposit.
According to the merchant, the man who brought the shell to the counter wanted to make sure that the owner got it back.
“I don’t know if there are many people who would do that,” the merchant said. – – “It shows that there are really good people in the world.”
The two were happy with the situation, WP says.
“Many people would not pass that test”, he commented on the behavior of the customer who returned the money.
Yet later that day, the woman who lost the money and her relatives returned to the store. The woman wanted to reward the man who returned the money by giving him a reward: three hundred dollars.
They gave the money to the finder’s spouse, who was working in the store, as the man was not there.
