£3,000 following a bank withdrawal at a branch in the North West of England. The man exited a NatWest bank in Wirral after withdrawing a hefty £3,000, and found the money missing. He wrote
on the local Facebook group Crimewatch Wirral how he lost the cash, only for a young man to step in and console him as he wept. He wrote: "He said have I lost something? I said yes, a
brown envelope with a lot of cash in it. I was absolutely gobsmacked (when) he pulled the envelope from his coat." He continued: "Oh my god it was all of my money. I was crying my
eyes out. READ MORE UK BRACED FOR HEATWAVE LATER THIS WEEK BUT ONLY 'HALF' OF ENGLAND WILL BE HIT "I've recently been through so much with my health and this money was to

human beings too, I am so happy for you." A second wrote: "Well done mate, lovely lad who's been brought up the correct way! He sounds like the type of mate everyone needs in
their life." A third typed: "Wow such a lovely thing to do and with so much misery around these days that really does lift the spirit, well done to that very kind, honest young
man, so glad you had a happy ending." Article continues below A fourth said: "This just genuinely brought a lump in the back of my throat, I'm so happy for you and thank you
to the very kind gentleman."
