A university student was shocked when she found £1,000
inside a pair of trainers she bought on eBay.
She then stunned the seller by returning the cash. Ella
Gilman, 19, told the Daily Mail 'My reaction when I saw the money was shock. I opened the shoes and
found an envelope stuffed in the shoe, thinking she had just stuffed the shoe
to keep them from creasing.
'I thought, if I had lost that substantial amount of money,
I would hope someone would return it to me also.
'I was glad I had returned the money, to see how grateful
Laura was and how upset she was without the money. I was also really surprised
that Laura refunded me the money for the shoes.'
Previous owner Laura
Hazeldine had saved the cash, but didn't get round to putting it in the bank
after her local branch closed. Instead, she hid it in her house for
safe-keeping - then forgot where she had left it.
“It means so much more to me than just returning the money.
I refunded her the money for the trainers and I'm sending her some vouchers
too. I want to figure out a way to thank her and I'm hoping there's a festival
or restaurant which will be able to do something nice for her.
