Glasgow cleaner hailed for 'terrific' honesty after handing in lost wallet full of cash

A Glasgow cleaner hailed as a 'legend' after handing in a lost wallet stuffed full of cash.

The wallet was left onboard an Avanti West Coast train by a member of the public heading to Edinburgh to take in Scotland's Six Nations match with France at Murrayfield at the weekend.

Containing 'the weekend's money', the cleaner handed the wallet into the work depot in Polmadie in Glasgow, before it was then returned to the owner 'with every penny it'.

The cleaner's actions only came to light after a friend of the person who lost their wallet took to Twitter to try and reach out to the cleaner - named Daniel Lindsay - to thank him for his honesty.

The tweet read: "Please RT to find! If anyone knows a Daniel Lindsay who is a cleaner for Alstom in Glasgow, please get in touch. Mate of mine from Stafford was in Edinburgh for the rugby, lost his wallet with the weekend's money in it, was later handed in when found with every penny in it."

The tweet - accompanied by an image of the wallet stuffed with cash - quickly went viral, with over 1,400 likes and 600 retweets.

And people were quick to praise the cleaner for his actions, with one responding with: "Top man handing that in".

Another wrote: "Hope you locate Daniel. Honesty like that deserves a wee reward."

Joining them was a fellow Twitter user who wrote: "Good lad. His folks should be proud because that looks like more than a weeks wages so he's had a good upbringing."

Well done to Daniel Lindsay.
