Earlier that day, at 9:45 AM, Mr. Ho Y Tuoi (born in 1979, residing in Huc Nghi village, Huc Nghi commune) found a bag at Km30 on the Ho Chi Minh Highway, passing through Huc Nghi village.

After finding the lost property, Mr. Tuoi took it to the Huc Nghi Commune Police Station to report it and find the owner to return the property.

This information was then widely shared on social media and received a lot of attention from the public.

Thanks to this, a local resident learned the information and directed the foreign visitor to the Huc Nghi Commune Police Station to retrieve his belongings.

At 11:50 AM the same day, the foreign visitor who had lost his belongings reported to the Huc Nghi Commune Police. After checking, the visitor, a US citizen, confirmed that the bag still contained over 500 USD in cash, equipment, and personal items.

Despite the lack of an interpreter, and understanding each other only through a few simple words and gestures, this American visitor expressed his deep gratitude to the people and police of Huc Nghi commune.

"A few simple words, a smile, and a 'like' gesture from the American guest helped us understand that he was pleased and grateful for our actions," Lieutenant Colonel Duc shared.
