A schoolgirl in the capital city had a slice of luck on Tuesday when she found a purse with €14,000 in it on the U-Bahn and immediately brought it to the police. The find was delivered to the police station in the district of Tempelhof-Schöneberg, the police wrote on Twitter, adding that the owner of the purse was very pleased. The young finder was also likely pleased; for her honesty she won’t go away empty-handed, but with €420 instead. In Germany, it’s a legal right for finders of lost items to receive a fee of between 3 to 5 percent of the item’s worth. READ ALSO: Teen swimmer finds €16,000 gold bar in lake
