The sum represented the entire life savings of an elderly lady whom the police managed to track down. The 77-year-old had withdrawn the funds from the bank earlier the same day before forgetting them on the bus.
The driver, named as Wolfgang R, said he initially thought the bag behind the driver’s seat might contain medicines. “I always do my rounds, and see if someone has forgotten something,” he told a local newspaper of the incident, which happened in late November. “I took the bag, looked into it and saw some of the money.

Police were able to trace the owner through a passport and bank deposit slips which had also been left in the bag. The man’s employers, public transport authority Wiener-line, said they were very proud to have such an honest employee. It is not known whether he was given a reward for returning the cash to its rightful owner.
