The workers found the money at the doors of the canteen of the social premises during their morning tour the day after the celebrations ended
Three workers from the municipal cleaning brigade of the western zone have earned a place in the hearts of the members of the festival commission of Los Puertos de Santa Bárbara. Those responsible went from the desolation of losing an envelope with more than a thousand euros of their spending budget to an immense gratitude after recovering it from the hands of the operators, who found it during their morning round last Tuesday through the festive venue. “We have no words. They have saved us from a very big problem, because it was the money available for a lot of canteen payments, ”explained sources from the commission. “Seeing his joy was the greatest reward for us,” explained Miguel Ángel Robles, one of these three guardian angels for a day.
The organizers of the local celebrations experienced a very busy day on Monday, with the closing of the income and expenses box and the payment accounts. “The town festivals were over, in which a lot of work has been done, and we went to sleep late,” said the sources consulted. The surprises came the next day.
At ten in the morning, Miguel Ángel Robles and his colleagues Juan García and Kilian Mateo passed in front of the canteen with their team from Lhicarsa, a municipal cleaning company. Ouch! Look at this!” shouted the second in the direction of the first. When he approached, he saw a transparent bag on the ground “with a bunch of 20-euro bills, in a bundle with an elastic band.” “If the inside hadn’t been visible, I probably would have thrown it in the trash,” his partner told him.
“If they did not end up in a transparent bag, the banknotes would almost certainly have ended up in the trash”
“My mobile did not stop”
After taking the improvised purse, the three companions began to think who it could be. “This is from the canteen,” sentenced Miguel Ángel. He knows members of the party committee and immediately called one of them with no answer. Later he tried it with more people from the town.
«I got out of bed and saw that my mobile did not stop. At the moment a shiver ran through me thinking about the money from the previous day and seeing that it did not appear, “said one of the festeros. With fear in her body, she called one of her acquaintances who had most insistently tried to wake her up on her cell phone. “Do you miss anything of value since last night?” She heard her caller say to her on the other end of the receiver, with a lump in her throat. And her suspense vanished when she knew the money hadn’t been lost.
The festeros went in a very short time from the suffocation of losing the money to the infinite gratitude for recovering it
“This is the first time something like this has happened to us. In the rounds of street cleaning you find almost everything. And on town festival dates, in the morning we have collected countless bags, which we put in the hands of the postmen so that they can return them to their owners. Also all kinds of objects and clothes, but never so much money. It is comforting to know that you have given it back to someone who really needs it”, commented Miguel Ángel Robles.
“This will not happen again. But for now, all we feel is gratitude. In life you do not meet many people like these three, “the festeros indicated.
