A homemaker, who had mistakenly left her gold jewellery worth Rs 3.8 lakhs in an auto-rickshaw on December 30, got them back after she helped the police identify the vehicle with the help of the sticker on its windshield. After tracing the registration number of the vehicle for four days, the auto was traced to Dindoshi. The police did not press charges on the auto driver as he did not open the bag until they traced him, Mumbai Mirror reported.

According to the police, On December 30, Sangeeta Venugopal (59) was returning to her residence at Vaishali Nagar in Dahisar in an auto-rickshaw from a relative’s house in Ghatkopar. When she alighted from the vehicle and reached her apartment, she realised that she left her bag containing the ornaments and valuables in the auto-rickshaw. Thus she filed a complaint with the Dahisar police station after a team lead by Inspector Sanjay Marathe was formed to track the vehicle.
