Old Safe Found In River Returned To Owner
A 15-year-old treasure hunter who combs river bottoms with a heavy-duty magnet recently pulled a safe containing thousands of dollars.
George Tindale was scouring a river in England with his dad when he made the incredible discovery three weeks ago.
They followed a trail of clues to track down the cash’s owner, a businessman whose safe was stolen 22 years ago.
The father and son were able to open the safe, and among the mud and slime inside the small safe was a pouch containing $2,500 Australian dollars.
Also inside were a certificate and expired bank cards that gave the magnet ‘fishermen’ enough information to track down Rob Everett.
After contacting Rob to explain the amazing find, the pair visited him last week at his business to return the stolen property.
“I was just amazed that they’d been able to track me down,” said Rob. “There are some really nice and good people in this world. They could have kept the money, they could have said they attempted to get hold of me.
George was even offered a job after the business owner met him.
