Lam Dong - On the way to work, teacher Nguyen Thanh Viet picked up 11.4 million VND and immediately brought the entire amount to the police to ask them to find and return it to the person who dropped it.

On the afternoon of November 8, Cat Tien 3 Commune Police, Lam Dong Province, said that the unit had coordinated with Mr. Nguyen Thanh Viet to complete the procedures to return the property to the person who dropped it, Ms. Tran Thi Mai. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Viet is currently a teacher at Gia Vien Primary School (Cat Tien 3 commune).

Earlier, on the same morning, while traveling by motorbike through Hoa Thinh village (Cat Tien 3 commune), Mr. Viet discovered a stack of money carefully tied with a rope lying on the roadside.

Immediately afterwards, he brought the entire amount to Cat Tien 3 Commune Police to hand over and hoped that the authorities would soon find the person who dropped it to return it. The amount of money Mr. Viet picked up was 11.4 million VND.

I think giving back money to the person who dropped it is something everyone should do. As a teacher, I have to be an example for students to follow. Therefore, when I picked up the money, I brought it to the police for verification and returned it to the owner" - Mr. Viet shared.

After many hours of verification, Cat Tien 3 Commune Police identified the person who dropped it as Ms. Tran Thi Mai, residing in Hoa Thinh Village (Cat Tien 3 Commune). On the same afternoon, the Commune Police coordinated with Mr. Viet to complete the procedures and return the entire amount of 11.4 million VND to Ms. Mai.

Receiving the property, Ms. Tran Thi Mai emotionally sent her sincere thanks to Cat Tien 3 Commune Police and teacher Nguyen Thanh Viet. A representative of Cat Tien 3 Commune Police said that the actions of teacher Nguyen Thanh Viet, although simple, have profound humanistic meaning, contributing to spreading good values in the community so that everyone can learn and follow.
