Man spends 12 days tracking down a labourer's lost monthly wage

[YoungBucks25]

A simple act of decency has made headlines in Brazil. Good News Network reports that Pedro Moro found about $219 worth of Brazilian reais in a square in Ibiraçu on 28 August

The money was the whole monthly wage of Matheus Reginaldo Celestino, a 24 year old construction worker, who had withdrawn it to pay for his daughter's needs. Losing it would have left his family short for the month

Moro posted about the find online, and on 3 September he went round local shops asking to see their security cameras. One had footage of the moment the money was dropped, which he shared

Celestino saw the video on Instagram and proved the money was his by saying exactly how many 10, 20 and 100 notes were in the stack. Moro said he was happy to have found the person and fulfilled his duty to return the money

Spending nearly two weeks searching for a stranger is a wonderful example of decency. For Celestino, losing a whole month's pay would have been devastating, especially with a child to support. Stories like this restore a little faith in people

Have you ever found or returned lost money? And how far would you go to find its owner?
