Yesterday afternoon, after finishing work, Huynh Thi Vang was riding her motorbike to pick up her child. She had hung a bag containing 117 million dong in front of her motorbike and accidentally dropped it on the road. Upon arriving home and realizing the money bag was missing, she and her husband immediately reported the incident to Son Ha Commune Police and posted a public appeal for help. Throughout the night, police alerted local villages and reviewed surveillance footage along the route in their search.

At 10 am today, Pham Thi Hue reported finding the bag with all the money intact. Son Ha Commune Police verified the claim and completed the handover procedure. Pham Thi Hue, who lives in difficult circumstances after her husband passed away, works as a small vendor to support her two young children.
