A curious incident involving unexpected financial losses occurred in the city of Shostka, in Sumy Oblast. Municipal service workers took a package containing 6,000 euros to a landfill. The reason was that the money seemed like a souvenir to them. This was reported by the local publication Shostka.INFO .
Journalists learned from their own sources that on January 16, municipal workers found a bag of euro banknotes in the central part of the city while cleaning up garbage. However, not believing their eyes, people decided that it was souvenir money, so they simply took the bag to the landfill along with other garbage.
Soon the owner of the package appeared, which turned out to contain 6 thousand real euros. The man turned to the utility workers, and they told him where to look for his loss.
“As a result, the man went to a landfill, where, rummaging through the garbage, he safely found his package with 6 thousand euros. They say that he gave honest utility workers 1,000 UAH each as a token of gratitude,” the publication says.
The journalists contacted the local police, but they reported that they had not received any reports of the loss of the package with money.
