León managed to contact the driver of the bus in which they were traveling and they managed to recover the fanny pack. “I hadn’t seen it initially, it was under the seat. This man was very lucky, it was open and the money was visible, but no one found it,” explains the driver, who took it to his residence to return it the next day. “I was very grateful,” they both said when they saw the tourist’s reaction.
