Man loses £1,800 after dropping them in the street [With video] - Polidicks

[QUOTE]Xiaoliang Qin, a migrant worker in China, had withdrawn his entire 18,000RMB (£1,800) annual salary ahead of the Chinese New Year celebrations, but dropped the bag on a crossing in Shanghai. [/QUOTE] Poor man. [QUOTE]"I was there shouting 'Don't pick it up! It is my whole year's salary! I need it for the New Year!'", Mr Qin said, "I cannot celebrate New Year without my money. You people who own cars, how can you stop and take my money." [/QUOTE] [QUOTE]One man was almost hit by a car as he chased after the money.[/QUOTE] What a bunch of greedy fucks.

[editline]5/2/13[/editline] It turns out the man got his money again. [QUOTE]By yesterday afternoon, Qin Xiaoliang, a delivery man with a courier company, had recovered 7,800 yuan of the 17,600 yuan cash he lost after more people returned the money, police said. In addition, Xue Manzi, a well-known angel investor, has said he will give Qin 15,000 yuan. On his Weibo microblog, Chen wrote: "Qin, don't feel sad. Come to Nanjing by February 6 and I will compensate you for all your losses."

Wow that sucks

It's China, what do you expect? If they can pass idly by as a toddler gets ran over, I'm pretty sure stopping their car and picking up (aka stealing) some money from a random guy is no problem for them.

In China, if you were to stop and help you're liable for any medical costs, insurance, damages etc etc. It's messed up, but there were a lot of incidents in the past of good samaritans getting fucked over by the system. I'm not saying it's justified, but there's a reason why people don't want to get involved in China (more than usual). Stealing the guy's money however, is a terribly dickish thing to do.

I remember watching a video of a girl trying to commit suicide by jumping from a bridge. She survived and lay on the road writhing in pain. Everyone just drove past.

what a bunch of assholes

China's obsession with money is the root of all problems there.

[QUOTE=Angus725;39473893][B]Man[/B]'s obsession with money is the root of all problems there.[/QUOTE]

To be fair, the guy who dropped the money made an incredibly stupid, and avoidable, mistake. You'd think you'd not be so careless to just WALK across the street with an entire years salary in your hand. Hell it's stupid even if you didn't drop it - way to make yourself a huge target for crime. The dude is lucky he just dropped money and recovered some instead of getting mugged or having it stolen by a theif.

Greedy bastards.

[QUOTE=Moupi;39475415]call an ambulance like a human being with an adequate amount of chromosomes[/QUOTE] You don't have to stop to call an ambulance. You can do it from a car.

Should of put the cash in an sealed envelope. Poor guy.

[QUOTE=Scot;39475492]You don't have to stop to call an ambulance. You can do it from a car.[/QUOTE] you shouldnt use a mobile whilst driving that is illegal, i would call the police on you

[QUOTE=smeismastger;39473001]Well I honestly can't expect anything less in any other country too you know.[/QUOTE] This. What happened in China could happen anywhere. Even in Canada, or the USA.

you know, nationalities notwithstanding, it's pretty fucked up that this happened in the first place

This really made me sad. Hurts to see this kind of thing happen.

[QUOTE=rampageturke 2;39476986]you shouldnt use a mobile whilst driving that is illegal, i would call the police on you[/QUOTE] You have some serious misunderstanding of how the world works if you think you would call the cops on someone for using a cell phone while driving.

[QUOTE=Scot;39473194]Well what are you gonna do, sing her Everythings Gonna Be Alright?[/QUOTE] three options i guess; finish her off, take her to the hospital, or leave her

Some lucky guy(s) out there are now enjoying their 20 counterfeit iPhones.

He will earn it back through karma, if not then twice that.

[QUOTE=Gekkosan;39480947]take her to the hospital[/QUOTE] this is not an option. you don't move around or mess with an injured person in any way and you especially don't take them away from the scene where you're only going to embroil yourself in weird legal situaions and confuse the authorities - especially if there's already an ambulance enroute. you don't know what you're doing and chances are you'll make the situation worse

That guy must've planned one hell of a New Year's party if he withdrew that amount of money

[QUOTE=NoDachi;39478976][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGaJrgi_SpE[/media] The bystander effect was literally studied in America so shush.[/QUOTE] This is why New York is a shithole. I've gone there and seen countless people starving on the streets. Now if I had money, I would have gladly bought each one of them a burger or something. The problem is that there's [I]so many of them that I would be broke in a couple of hours[/I].

I'd happily see a charity to get him his money back.
