Together with our supervisor, we handed it over to the security officer. Our supervisor drew up the report, and then the bag was delivered to the lost property office. We always do our humanitarian duty. I learned that the item I found was the bag of an Indonesian student. It apparently contained her money and passport. I am happy that she will not have problems on her journey. I became even happier than her because I was instrumental in a good deed."
SHE CRIED WITH JOY AND PROSTRATED HERSELF
Lost property office officer Kayhan Özdemir said, "Lost items found on the metros and at the stations are handed over to us with a report. We check and verify the items that come with a report one by one. Then we deliver the lost items to their owners. If there is the person's identity card, student card or a large amount of money in the wallet, we process it directly at our central building. We reach the person's personal information, inform them by phone and deliver their belongings. We noticed that there was a passport and some money in the student's bag. After a report was drawn up and official procedures were completed, we reached her and invited her to our office. When it was understood that she was the owner of the bag, we handed over her belongings. She also cried with joy and prostrated herself. We calmed her down and offered her water and cologne. She left our office happily. This made us very happy as well," he said.
