Honest rag pickers return misplaced cash

July 7, 2008






Wang, owner of a roadside shop in Shenyang, capital of Liaoning province, was lucky enough to get back every cent of the 5,000 yuan ($730) he had placed in the garbage sack that his wife unknowingly sold to garbage collectors.

Wang's wife called in the husband and wife team of garbage collectors at their shop on Friday and sold them the bag containing the cash.

Realizing his mistake the next day, Wang went to the couple in what he thought was the vain hope of retrieving his money. To his relief and surprise, the honest couple, obviously expecting him to contact them, immediately returned the cash to him.
