Sicilian Teen Returns Lost Wallet with €5,000 to Owner in Malta

Sep 3 2023 Share

In a world where acts of kindness and honesty sometimes seem to be in short supply, the story of Gabriele La Terra, an 18-year-old Sicilian from Catania, shines as a beacon of integrity. Last August 12, while on holiday in Malta with friends, La Terra stumbled upon a wallet containing approximately €5,000. Instead of keeping the substantial sum for himself, he embarked on a mission to return it to its rightful owner, demonstrating the incredible power of honesty and empathy.

The heartwarming incident took place in San Ġiljan, a popular tourist destination in Malta. La Terra discovered the wallet while waiting in line to enter an establishment in the bustling Paceville area. Upon realizing the magnitude of what he had found, he made an extraordinary decision—to ensure the wallet’s return to its owner.

La Terra’s journey to reunite the wallet with its owner took him to the San Ġiljan Police Station. There, he handed over the wallet, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to doing the right thing. Thanks to his act of honesty and the diligent efforts of the local police, they were able to contact the wallet’s owner, a young man with the same last name as La Terra, but who hails from Naples, Italy.

What makes this story even more heartening is that, not only did La Terra return the wallet, but he also had the opportunity to meet its owner in person. The two young men shared a moment, and as a symbol of their newfound connection, they even had a drink together. This unexpected encounter serves as a reminder that acts of kindness and honesty can forge meaningful bonds between individuals, transcending geographical boundaries and differences.

The inspiring tale of Gabriele La Terra’s integrity was brought to light by his mother in an interview with the Sicilian newspaper, La Sicilia. La Terra himself has been quoted as saying, “In life, honesty binds and binds.” His words encapsulate the profound impact of his actions, not only on the wallet’s owner but also on anyone who hears this remarkable story.
