A woman in Hong Kong found a wallet on a bus. After checking the bank cards inside the wallet, she used “FPS” (Faster Payment System) to transfer HKD 1 (about MYR 0.54) to the owner and left a remark: “You dropped your wallet on the bus, please contact….” She successfully located the owner, and this clever method of finding the owner has been highly praised by netizens.
According to “Sing Tao Headline” reports, a man posted on the online forum LIHKG, saying that he had lost his wallet while taking the bus and even waited at the bus stop for an hour but still could not find it. Just as he had resigned himself to losing the wallet, he unexpectedly got it back.
It turned out a woman had picked up his wallet on the bus. After checking his bank cards, she specifically used “FPS” to transfer HKD 1 to him, with a note saying “You dropped your wallet on the bus, please contact….” In this way, she left her contact number. When he met the woman to retrieve his wallet, he offered to give her some money as thanks, but she refused and instead told him to help others in the future.
This man said he was very touched: “Although everyone says Hong Kongers are so utilitarian, only Hong Kongers have such a high sense of civic duty when it comes to not pocketing found property. In this cold society, you can still feel human warmth. It makes me reflect on whether I’ve ever done such good deeds for others.”
He also expressed that actually it would already be very nice if the woman had just handed the wallet to the driver, but he didn’t expect her to use such a clever way to quickly locate the owner. He immediately felt there was much love among Hong Kong people.
This post received a warm response in the LIHKG forum, with netizens praising the woman for being kind-hearted and clever, and for using this method to leave her contact information and find the owner. They also said they had learned this trick and would use it to locate the owner should they ever discover a lost wallet.
