Recycling truck driver finds missing money: Auckland's North Shore
A North Shore resident's faith in humanity has been restored thanks to the quick witted actions of a recycling truck driver.
The sharp-eyed operator spotted the man's missing wallet containing $770 cash on the kerbside while collecting bins on Auckland's North
Shore.
The company tracked down the owner and returned his wallet.
To reward her vigilance, the relieved householder treated the truckie to lunch and gave her a $100 gift certificate.
Auckland Council waste collectors carry out nearly one million kerbside collections each week.
