Scrap workers find $128,000 in safe
Fri Jan 30, 12:22 pm ET

BERLIN (Reuters) – Workers at a steel plant near Berlin found 100,000 euros ($128,500) in a safe that a bank had sent to be scrapped -- but they did the decent thing and gave it back.

An employee at Germany's Postbank had failed to take out the cash before sending the safe to the scrapyard. Spokesman Ralf Palm blamed "the carelessness of an employee when a branch office moved in December."

I think it might be even worse than finding a fancy camera on the highway.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

They have the sense for Redlichkeit in Germany. I, however, have not.  :angel:

No, not even if I needed it badly. I wouldn't be able to live with it.

The Swedes were known for their honesty before. They said that if you lost your wallet on a street in Stockholm in 1950, you could be as good as 100% sure to get it back.

I am pretty honest and have returned my share of money  and wallets but this was sold as scrap if it weighted 100 lbs less than they said would they give you  the difference don't think so

Agreed. And the money belonged to a fucking bank, not to private citizens.
