Although the cash threatens to disappear Due to the increasing use of credit cards, the truth is that there are still people (especially retirees) who prefer to pay with tickets and metallic coins, as has been done ‘all life’. This is the case of a marriage that I was buying in a shopping center in Marseille (France) just before last Christmas.
In a letter they sent to the environment Ouest Francethe couple headed to a car dealership after having made some small purchases and taken 800 euros from their bank account. “That morning I had withdrawn a lot of cash from the ATM to cover holiday expenses,” they explain in the text. But, when we reached the box “we realized that We didn’t have the wallet”

“I’m looking for, I search, but I can’t find her and I get pale. The wallet has disappeared and I didn’t understand anything. Had they stole it? I left her somewhere? I didn’t remember anything, I just wanted to mentally review every step he had taken.” This happened on Friday, so during the whole weekend they were waiting for Someone called them or told them that the portfolio had appeared.
A letter in the mailbox that surprised them
After two days of anguish and search, the marriage was at home “disgusted and disappointed by the financial loss before the holidays”, and Monday morning, when they opened the mailbox they took a big surprise. Among the letters was a note that said: “I have found his wallet at the entrance of the tent for cars, there was his driving card with the address of the house and I have taken the freedom to return it. This is my phone.”
The man immediately called the number they had marked, although he doubted whether they would return the 800 euros complete or miss something. “On the other side of the line, a man told me that the wallet was at the entrance of the car store and that he brought it home, but since there was no one, he left a note in the mailbox. I did not ask him if there was money in the wallet, but he told me that he had verified that he was 800 euros inside.”
After thanking him, they remained in a cafeteria to have a tea and handed him the wallet. He was quite close to the home, he explains in his letter to the medium mentioned above.
“I met a man with principles, who are not common today.”
Once in the cafeteria, and after receiving the portfolio back, the affected one explains that “I met a lovely, cultured man, just 40 years old, was educated, humble and with principles that are now unusual today.”
The wallet was intact, nothing was missing, no documents or money. “I didn’t know how to thank him, I made a gift, it was the minimum I could do. But I think the best gift did it to us and it was to meet him.”
Now they are friends and continue or writing messages: “Every end of the year we wish ourselves the best.”
“Recovering a portfolio is important not only because of the sum, but because it is a shared test. We won more than an invoice returned, we earn breath. We must always maintain hope, there are honest people.”
