Germany: Teen hands in lost wallet holding 7,000 EUROS in cash

Germany: Teen hands in lost wallet holding 7,000 EUROS in cash
, Sunday, 26 November 2023 (18:39 IST)
A teenage girl in Cuxhaven on Germany's North Sea coast found a wallet containing several thousand euros in cash and returned it to its owner via local police. 
 
Local police said in a statement that the "honest finder" called on Saturday evening to say she'd found a wallet full to the brim with cash near a building site in the Lüdingworth district of the town. 
 
"The wallet containing €7,371.04 (a little over $8,000) was handed in to police," Cuxhaven's police said in a statement.
 
They said the man who'd lost it was then located and that he had traveled from Hildesheim — roughly two hours' drive south of Cuxhaven — that same evening to collect his valuable lost property. 
 
"He left behind an appropriate finder's fee for the 16-year-old finder," police said, without specifying what that was.
 
It was not clear why someone would have such a large sum of cash, the equivalent of roughly two months' salary for somebody earning around Germany's GDP per capita, on their person.
