Iranian scavenger returns gold, cash found in dumpster to owner

A man who was scavenging in a dumpster in Iran’s Aligoodarz city in Lorestan Province found a bag full of gold items and banknotes worth over 30 thousand dollars and returned them to the owner.

The 52-year-old man, who did not want his identity to be revealed, told Etemad newspaper that he found the owner through the bank card among the valuables.

He said, “I collected the garbage that day and when I wanted to separate the garbage, I realized that there were gold and dollars inside the bag.”

“I kept the gold and dollars with me for a few days, but since we had grown up with halal (honestly-earned) bread, I couldn’t take the bag for myself,” the man added.
