Hong Kong: An honest man in China who handed back US$3,600 (RM13,680) he found in the street has been divorced by his wife who told him he was an idiot, a news report said yesterday.

The lorry driver made newspaper headlines earlier this year when he returned the cash and a US$230 (RM874) mobile phone, the hong kong edition of the China Daily said.

His wife and family in Nanjing, eastern China, reportedly considered him a fool for not keeping the booty to pay off his considerable debt.
