A thrift shop in Aabybro accidentally sold a customer’s rollator for 60 kroner, DR reports. The mistake came to light the next day, when the customer told staff he had left the mobility aid outside the shop.
Staff had mistaken the rollator for an item for sale when they put goods out the following morning. Shop manager Peter Pedersen said the incident was unfortunate but that the staff believed they had done nothing wrong.
The Blå Kors shop later asked for help finding the woman who had bought it. After P4 Nordjylland reported the case, listener Thomas Pilgaard called in and offered to donate money towards a replacement.
But the offer was not needed. The woman came back to the shop that same morning, feeling remorseful, and returned the rollator. The shop refunded her 60 kroner.
When the customer collected his rollator, he brought the shop a gift: his spare one, which Blå Kors can now sell.
