The forgotten walker that was mistakenly sold to a customer for 60 kroner. 40 minutes ago

It went wrong at the Blå Kors second-hand shop in Aabybro when staff recently sold a walker.

The next day, a customer came forward and said he was looking for the walker that had been sold – it was actually his.

The mobility aid had been left outside the shop, so when staff put out items the following morning, they thought it was for sale.

The shop manager, Peter Pedersen, said after the incident that he believed the staff had done nothing wrong:

"It's a bit unfortunate, but these things happen. We don't think we did anything wrong."

The shop took comfort in the fact that the inquiry about the walker only came the next day:

"The customer can't have missed it that much, since it wasn't until the next morning that we were made aware of it."

Guilt-ridden woman returned the walker

But to get the walker back to its owner, the Blå Kors shop still put out a call for the woman who had made a good purchase for 60 kroner.

When P4 Nordjylland reported on the case, listener Thomas Pilgaard called into the program. Laughing, he offered a donation to the wronged party:

But the offer of a new walker never came to be fulfilled.

That same morning, the new owner showed up – a guilt-ridden woman, says Peter Pedersen:

"We got the walker back, and she got her money refunded."

When the man came to pick up his walker, he brought a gift for the second-hand shop this time.

He handed over his spare walker, which Blå Kors can now sell without any trouble.
