mrmoshe Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Japanese fisherman finds bag of money ISHIKAWA, Japan, Dec. 25 A Japanese fisherman had the catch of his life when he landed a bag filled with 8 million yen ($67,000) in 10,000-yen bills in Hakusan, Ishikawa Prefecture. The police said the man was attempting to fish for sea perch when he felt his line snag on something, the Yomiuri Shumbun reported Monday. After pulling the moneybag, which also contained antiseptic and some paper, out of the water, the man reported it to local police. Police said the man would get to keep the money unless the original owner comes forward to claim it within six months. The Hakusan city government will hold the money as a flotsam object as defined by the Sea Disaster Relief Law until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemmm Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Would you tell the cops about your find or keep it to yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IFishSick. Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I'd personally keep it to myself. Anyone who can "lose" that much money in a bag in the water is either a crook or a crook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
