A man accidentally threw a shoe box with all his savings into a trash can. The next morning he got a call from a recycling plant

After such stories, you begin to believe in kindness and honesty. Especially when you lose something really valuable and turn to strangers for help. Hope dies last, this man had a hope of 23 thousand dollars, which he simply threw into the trash can.

Lost treasure

In Oregon, one Saturday morning, out of habit, a man threw away old things. This list includes an unnecessary shoe box. He safely took out the garbage into the tank and entered the house to continue the ordinary weekend business. Literally a few hours later a man ran scalded out of the house, scurrying to the trash in the hope of inspecting the same box. But the place was already empty, the money left that person.

On the same morning, the trucks of the garbage recycling enterprise drove between the streets to carry out their cleaning work. Unaware of the oddities of the garbage, the workers moved on to their task and emptied the containers. After a couple of hours, the Resource Recovery Center received an alarm call asking them to inspect the trash in search of a box.

The processing plant is located in California, and the machine has not yet arrived from Oregon to the plant. Workers were warned of the find, no one was supposed to hide, skip or appropriate this treasure. All the staff were ready, a treasure box was coming to them - a shoe box with 23 thousand dollars inside! The man, whose name, by the way, was never indicated, saved up these finances for a long period and hard work; he simply inattentively threw the old box into the landfill.

Help or benefit

When the man called the company, Linda Wise, the general director of the Center, personally took up this situation. Having warned workers, she supervised the process of unloading and reviewing garbage. After a few tons of waste, a dollar bill appeared in the conveyor, then another and another, the trace led to the very treasury of wealth. The director explained that the box reached the center closed is a great miracle, and the fact that the workers found the full amount is incredible, as if they had found a needle in a haystack.

The owner of the box was incredibly happy about the find and the whole family went for savings to another city. True, he did not receive the full amount, he had $ 320 less in his hands, and what happened to this cash balance is unknown. Perhaps the employee who found the loss took a fee for his services, maybe they really fell into the trash, and their story ends in fire.

Pretty amount

Converting the amount of 23 thousand dollars, you can really imagine and realize the feelings of that person: he lost and found a fortune in one day! Of course, he found with an amendment of minus $ 320, but the amount is not so tangible in comparison with the lost one, and it is easier to come to terms with this loss. For these finances, you can buy a good house or a fast car, and they accidentally ended up in the trash. One can only guess about the feelings of a person who has found a large sum, which probably could solve many of his problems. But he decided, in conscience, to transfer the treasure into the hands of the owner. And even if this is not a frequent, but a very good deed, it teaches us to be more condescending and more cordial to the labors and losses of others, especially strangers to us.
