According to Cascais24Horas, the man, of Asian origin, forgot his backpack in the restaurant area of that shopping centre on Wednesday night.
The backpack, which contained thousands of euros, was found by a cleaning employee, who handed it over to the security centre and it was later handed over to the GNR of Alcabideche.
This Thursday, the man returned to the shopping centre, where he was informed that the backpack was with the GNR. The security force ended up handing it over, after proving that the man was its rightful owner.
I moved to Portugal a few years ago. Within two wee,ks, I was attacked and robbed by friends of a real estate agent. The honesty and kindness of the cleaning person restores my faith in some Portuguese. Thank you for sharing this very special story.
