Dez mil libras no lixo! - £10,000 in a bin !(also in english)


O gari britânico Graham Hill achou cerca de 10 mil libras esterlinas - equivalente a R$ 36 mil - em notas picadas num saco de lixo e outras mais adiante também deixadas da mesma forma . Ele foi informado pela polícia,após a instituição buscar sem sucesso pelo dono das notas(6 meses ), que poderá ficar com o dinheiro, desde que monte todos os pedaços.
“Vamos aceitar as notas que forem reconstruídas”, afirmou um porta-voz do banco central inglês. Hill, de 44 anos, disse ao diário britânico “Daily Mail” que vai passar as noites em claro para colocar as notas de 10 e 20 libras em ordem.

You would think you would be the happiest man alive if you found £10,000. Anyone would, except if you were Graham Hill. Graham stumbled across a pile of money in a bin in Lincoln’s Central Market, England, and then to his surprise found another bundle of notes in yet another bin nearby. This was all just dandy except for the fact they were cut into little pieces. Like a good citizen Graham handed the chopped up notes to the police ,who, after extensive and fruitless search for the owners of the £10,000 worth of £10 & £20 notes, handed the fragments back to him. The Bank of England have told Graham if he can piece the notes back together they will reimbursement him with new ones (the serial numbers on both side correctly match!). Good friggin luck Graham,.
