Tellbach could not remember when or where he lost the bag, as he had travelled via the international airports of Düsseldorf, Dubai and Thailand, but on his flight back home via the Dubai International Airport, he was approached by an officer from the Lost & Found Section to confirm his identity and hand him the money.
Telbach was extremely happy and expressed his thanks to Dubai Police and DXB employees for returning his bag.
He said Dubai is one of the safest cities in the world.
