Israel: HaShovas Aveida with Tenacity

Israel: HaShovas Aveida with Tenacity

Four years ago, Ronit Cohen and her husband were shopping in the area of a Ramat Gan shopping center before Pesach. When they left the store, on the way to their car, Ronit placed her wallet on the roof of a vehicle. They drove off, forgetting the wallet. By the time they realized their error; they backtracked but never recovered the wallet.

Later that night, Oren Yosef was in the area on his scooter, and he found the black wallet which did not contain an identity card [which also has an address] but it did contain a large quantity of cash and a number of shopping cards and a membership to a shopper�s club. He assumed the poor owner must have received a quantity of money to shop for Pesach and lost the cash.

For the last four years, he continued his efforts from time-to-time to locate the owner. This included trips to the Interior Ministry, where clerks explained they cannot release information, phone calls and other efforts, until through a chain of events; he learned the name of the owner, Ronit Cohen.

He then would phone Bezeq Phone Company information and take the number of three Ronit Cohens at a time, until he phoned hundreds, leading to the owner.

On Monday, the met and he returned the wallet. Oren stated it was most emotional for him, and the happiness was pure when he realized he finally found the right Ronit Cohen. He declined to accept the NIS 300 offered to him by Ronit for returning his wallet, explaining this Rosh Hashanah will be special for him since he completed his mission.
