stumbled across an interesting find in the Spalding River:
soggy wads of cash floating near a drain.
The total haul was about 60,000 pounds, roughly the
equivalent of $100,000.
"Police are intending to consult with the Bank of England
for assistance with a formal inspection of the money and a
final accurate count," local police said in a statement.
"It isn't every day that an amount of money like this is
found, and somebody must have information that will help
the police trace the lawful owner," said Steve Hull of the
Spalding Criminal Investigations Department.
"I would be grateful to hear from people who have genuine
information to pass on to me." And by "genuine
information," he means something more than "I can
identify that money; it's got a picture of the queen on it."
You just know that this is the final scene in some epic
crime drama that we don't yet know. Of course, if the man
had decided to keep the cash for himself, that could have
some significant drawbacks as well.
So, yes, money is problematic, and finding soggy handfuls
of it could absolutely wreck your life if you make the
wrong decision. Still, it'd be nice to have that option,
wouldn't it?
