Honest people still exist. In most parts of Lappland, people don't even close their cars when shopping.
On the train, a very kind lady had given me the address of their friends, and when late that evening I was about to leave the police station without any resources, I made the policemen call the number of the mysterious friends. Within no time, I found myself in a police Saab speeding to the village where they lived, and was ushered into a flat of an extremely nice, old Finnish couple. The husband had participated in the Winter Games in 1928 and his bibs were still around the house everywhere. I spent several days here, and was even given some spare money to make my trip back home. The most incredible thing was that one week after returning home, I found my wallet, with all its content still inside, in the mailbox! This remote region of Europe, at least at that time, did not know crime or dishonest people, and it was a very unexpected surprise for me.
