Forget a bag containing 40 thousand euros by bus!

A woman in the southern French region of Nîmes surely had a shock when she realized she had left a briefcase containing 40,000 euros ($47,500) on a bus, in a moment of forgetfulness that could have cost her dearly.

However, thanks to the honesty of the bus company's employees, she was asked to come and collect the bag and its contents from the police, Medi Liber newspaper reported on Monday.

The bus driver left the bag at the bus station after his shift, without knowing what was inside. Then another employee opened the bag to find out who its owner was, and found 40,000 euros in small banknotes.
