TAIPEI (Taiwan News)—A Taoyuan police officer exerted extraordinary investigative effort

to help a man find his wallet that contained NT$30,000.

Tsai Chia-nan (蔡佳男) of Longxing Police Station told reporters that a man surnamed Zhong (鍾) nervously came to the police station last night (Saturday night) to ask for help to locate his lost wallet. Zhong told the officer that he went to a department store in the downtown area with NT$30,000 cash in his wallet because he wanted to buy a birthday gift for his daughter. As he couldn’t find a becoming gift for his daughter, he took a taxi home, Zhong said, adding when he came home, he couldn’t find his wallet.

After asking Zhong about such details as where he took the taxi, the time he arrived home, and the distance of the taxi ride, Tsai figured out a possible route of the taxi ride and the intersections the taxi might have passed. Reviewing of the surveillance footage that corresponded to the timeframe of the taxi ride found that only two taxis passed the intersections during that time. The officer also provided the photos of the two drivers for Zhong to identify. After making such efforts, the police officer was able to successfully find out the taxi Zhong took Saturday night.     [FULL  STORY]
