Rochester Hotels Weblog / In an act of good faith a policeman from Salta returned $350.000 to its ownerOn May 7th of this year, Francisco Solano Dávalos, police officer from Salta, who works as a security guard on the parking lot of a supermarket in Salta, married and father of eight kids, found a wallet with 50.000 pesos in cash and a check for $300.00. The first reaction was to search for documentation and then he informed the authorities of the supermarket. The woman, owner of the handbag with money, returned to the grocery store two hours later, when Dàvalos saw her he reassured the woman by telling her that he had found what she had lost. The woman gave him $100 in reward, which, at first the police officer refused to accept, arguing that the only thing he did is his work and fulfill his duty as a policeman. This honorable act by Mr. Francisco Solano Dávalos, was unknown until the supermarket manager, Ricardo Oviedo, informed the chief of infantry, Néstor Picolo, about what had happened. Dávalos received a recognition by the Secretary of Security from Salta. Events like this, where you can clearly see the honesty, dignity and good faith of the policeman Dávalos, are cases that should be taken as examples, be recognized and highlighted in this society in which these values are being forgotten. Rochester Hotel Supports these attitudes and promotes them as well, that is why it has given the Dávalos family a free stay at its Buenos Aires Hotels, from Friday May 29th to Sunday May 31st, to recognize and congratulate this admirable behaviour.
