There was a heart warming life-comes-full-circle moment involving a former police officer and an $8000 bundle of cash on Thursday.

Krystle Mitchell famously quit Victoria Police after 16 years in protest at having to enforce Dictator Dan’s Covid lockdowns.

“I’m quitting too because I can’t remedy in my soul anymore the way in which my organisation that I love to work for is being used,” she said at the time.

Ms Mitchell has been spotted sporadically since, occasionally turning up at Town Hall meetings to monitor goings on there in person.

“You’re broken Victoria Police … and the Government is laughing at you,” Ms Mitchell wrote as recently as January 20.

A few hours later, she discovered to her relief that a good Samaritan had handed it in.

Maybe the cops aren’t so broken after all.
