Last year, a man lost a wallet filled with $10,000 worth of US and European currency while taking a train from Ben-Gurion International Airport to Tel Aviv's Savidor Central Station in Israel. His first thought was that he had lost his money forever. However, to his surprise, the railway station authority located the wallet and returned it to him within a few hours.
