The police invited the owner to email them with details about when they lost the money. Rest assured, this was not an April Fool’s joke, according to the police.
There are still honest people out there! The proof this Tuesday, April 4. In the early afternoon, police in the Meetjesland region in the north of the country made an incredible announcement on Facebook.
“An honest citizen found €50 on Saturday April 1 at Colruyt in Eeklo. The owner can email us and mention when he lost the money,” the law enforcement post read.
If this sounds like a joke, it’s not, police say. “It’s not an April Fool’s joke,” he said.
In a world where it seems like honesty is becoming scarce, this story serves as a reminder that there are still good people out there. The simple act of returning €50 may seem small, but it speaks volumes about the integrity of the individual who found it. Let’s all strive to be more like them and make honesty and integrity a priority in our lives.
