North Vancouver RCMP had a firm pat on the back for a good Samaritan who is being credited with finding a wad of cash and helping to return it to its rightful owner.
The 42-year-old Vancouver man found the envelope containing $600 near Capilano Mall on April 24 while he was on the North Shore for business.
The envelope had two rather common names written on it, so the man opted to call North Vancouver RCMP.
“He said he’s also been the victim of losing money and had wallets returned to him so he thought he’d do a good deed and phoned us,” said Cpl. Richard De Jong, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman.
Police then gumshoed down the owner of a local furniture business where the cash had just been spent. Other than feeling a little sheepish, the man had nothing but praise for the honest citizen, De Jong said.
