A CRANBOURNE man was “over the moon” when a bag he lost that contained more than $6000 cash was handed into the local police station.
Eighty-seven-year-old John Delange became very distressed when he realised the bag with his savings for a trip back to his previous home Holland had gone missing.
However due to the generosity of strangers the man was reunited with his money last Friday.
Mr Delange’s son William said he didn’t know his father had saved up that much money and didn’t know whether or not to believe him when he found out.
However a trip the Cranbourne Police Station paid off and Mr Delange was reunited later that evening with his cash.
The man’s son said he said a prayer that morning for his father and it wasn’t long after that when they received the happy call.
The bag had been handed to a staff member at the Bunnings in Cranbourne who later handed it over to police. Mr Delange had been at the hardware store the day before.
Mr Delange was overcome by joy when he got the bag back in his hands once again.
