Recently a British couple, Jessica and Edward, had flown to Crete. They found themselves attracting a lot of attention after coming across a large amount of money in the street.
At first, there was nothing special about their vacation in Crete. However, it was as they were exploring the souvenir shops that everything changed. The pair were just walking down the street when Jessica suddenly kicked something lying on the ground. It looked a bit like a make-up bag and so they assumed that someone had lost it.
Without thinking twice, Jessica picked up the bag and opened it. She was shocked to see a lot of money in it—a total of 7,100 Euros. There was probably a lot they could do with all that money. However, the couple didn't have it in them to steal what belonged to someone else. Going to the police was the first thought that came to mind when Jessica saw the money. She didn't consider that there was any other option, so the pair handed over the money to the local police.
The police found the owner, an elderly woman, and told the couple that the woman wanted to meet them. When they eventually met at the police station, the woman couldn't stop hugging and blessing the couple, although the couple firmly believed they were just doing the right thing.
News of what the British couple had done quickly spread throughout the island. The locals offered them free taxi rides and even had their hotel room upgraded. The pair appreciated that, but it was all getting to be a bit too much. They just wanted to have a normal vacation.
The couple is probably hoping that they fly more under the radar during their next vacation. There's only so much attention that they have to deal with.
