Harrison Ford lost his credit card in Italy and a tourist tried his best to get it back

(CNN) – It was the saga of Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark, or in this case Harrison Ford and the lost credit card.

On Thursday, American actor Harrison Ford, 79, lost his credit card in the coastal town of Mondello, near Palermo, on the Italian island of Sicily.

But not all is lost. A tourist with the honor code of a Jedi Knight found the card and took it to the Palermo police, who discovered that it belonged to the legendary actor.

“The Mondello police quickly identified the place where ‘Indiana Jones’ had gone to regain his privacy, after a few fans recognized him as he walked ‘incognito’ through the streets of the beach area,” said the police in a statement.

Police were able to locate Ford and return the card, but not before taking a photo with the grateful star.

Harrison Ford recovers his lost credit card in Sicily, Italy.

“When the agent and the two policemen showed him and returned his belongings, the actor smiled, relieved of all the damages avoided and happy to see such a beautiful and honest place,” police said in a statement.

“The meeting with the policemen was sealed with a photo that will be jealously guarded by all the protagonists of the story,” the police added.

Ford is in Sicily shooting scenes for the latest “Indiana Jones” movie. Disney confirmed last year that the actor would once again don the hat and whip as Indiana Jones in a fifth installment, more than 40 years after the premiere of the first film in the franchise.

The first film, “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, known in Spanish as “In search of the lost ark”, was released in 1981 and was followed by “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” in 1984.

The last film in the franchise was 2008’s “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” which came nearly 20 years after the third film, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, “released in 1989.
