A Pakistan woman shared a wholesome story of how she was reunited with a laptop bag three years after she lost it.
Khadija M, from Lahore, in a Twitter thread, said that she had lost her laptop bag at Islamabad airport after an exhausting flight in 2018.
"It had my iPad, kindle and a hard disk. The hard disk had all my phone's backup. I was devastated but I got over it," she said.
Three years later, in 2021, when Khadija had moved over the incident and bought a new Kindle and tablet, she received a call from a mobile shop owner in Jhelum, saying that he had her belongings.
Khadija didn't understand what he was referring to but eventually recalled losing her bag at the airport years ago.
She wrote, "He sent me pictures of the contents of the bag and sure enough, it was my stuff. Exactly how I left them in the bag. Including my sunglasses and a notebook with my scribbles in it."
Well, it turned out that someone tried to sell the gadgets to the mobile shop owner but he figured out the person was not the rightful owner.
The mobile shop owner decided to keep the bag and "went through my hard disk to find a way to contact me."
Khadija said, "My back up folder had a completely random screenshot of a conversation between me and my roommate. Her number showed at the top so he contacted her to get my contact info."
Khadija's brother drove all the way to Jhelum to collect her stuff and thank the mobile shop owner who lived in a small village.
She said that he "had a tiny mobile shop and barely made a living. But he did everything within his power to return a lost item to its rightful owner."
"I was in awe of the honesty and integrity of that man but also of how bizarre the whole situation was. I never ever thought I was ever getting that stuff back in this country. But wholesome things happen at all the unexpected places. And my life is filled with wholesome events," she concluded.
