Honesty is the best policy

If you found a pouch containing QR50,000 in cash, an iPhone and a cheque for QR200,000 lying on the ground what would you do? Well in the case of Jayson Castillo, he did the honest deed of returning the pouch to its rightful owner. 

On Tuesday morning, Jayson Castillo, 24, was on his way to work when he found a small leather pouch laying at the Al Khor roundabout. 

Castillo, who is a receptionist at a gym, was hesitant to pick up the leather pouch. In the end he decided on going to the police station and returned it with everything intact inside it. Regardless of poverty, Castillo credits his parents for his trustworthy actions who he says have taught him "to be an honest man despite being poor".

Of course, Castillo was thanked by police authrities and the owner himself who stated that the the cash and the cheque were intended to pay the staff salary at an establishment.

It was a good day indeed!
