When an Elche resident went to the cash machine at his local hole in the wall he discovered a packet lodged there with 19,000 euros inside.What a moral dilemma to be in.Walk away with it or go to the police with it.Too many people would have just placed it in their pocket and walked away with it.
However this Elche gentleman did the correct and moral thing ad took the package to the National Police station and handed it in.He explained to the officers that he had gone to the branch of the Caja Mediterraneo( CAM) to carry out a transaction which requires a special access code.He had problems carrying out the transaction and so looked to the side of the machine and discovered the package.It was stuck in the deposit mailbox.It did have a note with it indicating which company was expecting to receive the money.The police returned the money to the company and one would hope that they rewarded this honest man.
We would all like to think that we would do exactly the same .If it had been our money then we would have wanted it to be returned to us and treating others as we would want to be treated is the yardstick to use in all moral dilemmas.
