Asda security guard finds £40,000 Rolex lost by customer and goes viral for response

An Asda employee has been showered with praise online for his response to finding a shopper's expensive 60-year-old Rolex watch.

Asda took to Facebook to explain how Pete, a security guard, was checking his monitors when he noticed something shiny on the floor by the checkouts at the Living Wrekin Park store in Telford. Pete decided to keep the watch safe, reports the Manchester Evening News, and the store was later contacted by its rightful owner who thought he would never see it again.

Hayley, the store's replenishment manager, said the customer became emotional when he was told about Pete's honest actions as the watch held many special memories for him.
