Delivery Rider Returns Lost Wallet to Police

On July 24, 2569, at Udon Thani City Police Station, Sakda Saenha, a 32-year-old food delivery rider known as "Van," handed over a wallet he found to police officers to help locate its owner. He discovered the wallet on the street near the Udon Thani Provincial Court entrance. Police found 610 baht in cash, an ID card, and a driver's license inside, which they documented and used to contact the owner.

Sakda explained that while delivering food by motorcycle, he spotted the wallet lying on the road. A passing car ran over it, scattering the bills. He immediately stopped and collected the wallet but had to rush back to complete his remaining delivery orders before heading to the police station. He did not wait to meet the owner, as he needed to return to work. This was not his first act of honesty—he had previously found another wallet with only about ten baht and also turned it in to police, believing the owner would want it back regardless of the amount.

Later, Uthai, 65, a vegetable vendor at the market, arrived at the police station to claim his wallet. He explained that he had been selling vegetables and running errands at the municipal market without noticing when the wallet fell. He only discovered it missing when he arrived home and was deeply worried about how to find it. Inside the wallet were less than 1,000 baht in emergency savings, important documents, and a government lottery ticket numbered 174693 for the August 1, 2569 draw, which he had just purchased before losing the wallet. Upon inspection, everything was intact.

Uthai expressed gratitude to the honest citizen and declared that if lottery ticket number 174693 wins the first prize, he intends to contact Sakda and share the prize money as a reward for his honesty and good character.
