An old man loses 20,000 francs in the street, and a couple finds it and returns it to him

For this dumb old man, the story is like a Christmas miracle Swiss. Two Good Samaritans returned him the 20,000 francs in cash (nearly €20,300) that he had lost in a car park.

The Valais cantonal police said in a press release that the man went by car to an ATM in Martiny to withdraw this huge amount of money. Once home, he realizes that the money is missing and goes to the nearest police station to report the theft.

Banknotes neatly stored in an envelope

But the money was not stolen! It was found in the parking lot where the old man parked his car, the tickets neatly stored in an envelope containing the extract and even the home address.

“The couple went to the wretched old man’s house in order to return all his money.”The statement said.

In reward for a good deed, the old man, a little head in the air, but grateful, gave 500 francs to the couple.

“In our canton there lived a beautiful story of civic honesty, a story worth sharing with you on this first day of Advent.”The Valais police rejoice.
