He found 2 thousand euros, handed it over without hesitation – he was compensated with money and a job

The consequences of being honest. Josh Pache found money at a gas station; it had fallen out of a merchant’s pocket.

Josh Pache was cycling past a gas station in Gold Coast, a city on the east coast of Australia, when he saw 3,500 Australian dollars in front of him, almost 2.000 euros.

Did you keep the money? No. He informed a cashier at the convenience store next door and handed over the money “without hesitation”he says.

However, the store received a call from a merchant, owner of a demolition company, who asked if anyone had delivered money.

Yes, it had. On the phone he heard that a young man had handed over the money instead of keeping the amount he found.

The money had fallen out of this merchant’s pocketDaniel McKellar, owner of a demolition company.

McKellar had stopped at the convenience store next to the gas station to buy a coffee on the way home after dropping off a load of scrap metal for recycling.

He never realized that the money had fallen. He went to the car and drove home, alongside his wife. Entered panic when he looked for the money inside the car later and couldn’t find it.

Now that he had the money, Daniel McKellar wanted find the person who handed it over. He turned to Instagram and quickly got there – the mother of the young man on the bike saw the post.

The merchant, in addition to asking if anyone knew that young man (he had a slightly blurred image from the surveillance cameras), wanted to offer a reward of 1,000 dollarsabout 560 euros.

The merchant justified this offer, in the following: “It is very rare to find young people with a solid moral compass and who obviously know what to do, they knew what was the right thing to do”.

And yes, the two met in person. The owner of the money handed over the 1,000 dollars to the young man on the bicycle – and even offered a job at your company, as soon as he finishes studying.

And there’s more: feeling lucky, McKellar took $2,500 and donated it to a campaign to help finance brain surgery for an advanced cancer patient.
