Airport Employee Gives All A Lesson In Honesty

A humble employee at the Juan Santamaría international airport in San José gave all Costa Ricans a lesson in honesty, when she found laying around the airport terminal, a bag with almost us$2.000 dollars, 1.700 Euros and 1.250 Rubles in cash.

The woman, identified only by her last name Montero, said she found the wallet near one of the fast food spots in the boarding hall of the airport and instead of pocketing the find, decided to contact thePolicía Aeroportuaria (airport police) to hand over the wallet which had the identification of its owner, a man who had already left on a TACA flight to Havana, Cuba.

The money and identification was then handed over to TACA officials to be sent to the man.

The action of Montero is true lesson in humility and decency, while some categorized the woman's action as idiotic.
