Treasure found at recycling plant
A 22 year old operator at a Norwegian metal recycling plant was hit by pure luck. He found 14,00 euros (115,000 Norwegian kroner) in a safe box dumped at the site.
John Erik Tveidal told VG newspaper he was just about to end his shift, found the big safe box and decided to have a little bit of fun. He started pounding the safe with his excavator, while trying to open it.
When the door cracked open he could not believe his eyes. Six packs full of money. “I felt I was in heaven and thought I must be dreaming. I stood there with 117,000 kroner in my hand and thought that right there I had a holiday in the tropics and a hot tub for my wife, but instead I ran straight to the boss and gave him the money”, Tveidal said.
Unfortunately for Tveidal he could not keep any of the money he found. Norsk Gjenvinning Group tracked down the owner of the safe box and returned all the money.
