Shortly afterwards he received a phone call from a woman calling on behalf of two Pakistani migrant men who had found his wallet and were trying to return it to its owner.
They returned the wallet, with 200 euros cash and credit cards without asking for anything in return, only that Galatoulas check that everything was inside the wallet.
“They were two polite young men who are struggling to survive,” Galatoulas told a local radio station according to ANA-MPA.
