'Very Grateful:' Driver Returns Birthday Cash To Woman Who Left Purse On Train

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 28 Mar, 2017 12:04 PM
    CALGARY — A woman who left behind a purse with $1,300 in birthday cash on a Calgary light-rail train says she can barely believe someone was honest enough to return it.
     
    Li Feng Yang had received the money for her 75th birthday and was planning to deposit it in the bank.
     
    Yang says she felt a burning rush of anxiety when she realized her purse was missing.
     
    Train operator Mesfin Tadese found the bag during a walk-through when the train was at the end of the line.
     
     
    Yang says she was surprised and grateful when it was returned to her.
     
    She thanked Tadese in person today, bringing him two bouquets of flowers and embracing him at a downtown train station.
     
    "Is there really honest people that would return my lost bag with cash in it?" Yang, who does not speak English, said in a statement read by her grandson, Kai Huang.
     
    "Well, the undeniable truth is in front of me."
