Another reason to stay with the old gen.

He paid 95 quid for the console that arrived without two of the promised games, but was soon cheered up to find an enormous lump of EUR 65,400 in the box, according to the BBC.

Spoilsport parents soon intervened and phoned the Police, who are now holding the cash while they investigate its origins. Should the matter remain unsolved the boy's family could potentially reclaim the money through the Police Property Act.

Mysterious seller "Sony" couldn't be tracked down, but sales in PlayStation 2 consoles on eBay have since gone through the roof. Ah, if only.

guy was feeling guilty about his drug money and just had to get rid of it somehow

lucky kid.. stupid parents

my parents would have had their lives snuffed out if they tried to make me turn it in.

Similar story happened around here few years back.

Kid in school was at a bus stop, and noticed a bag on a wall and thought nothing of it. Next few days, the same bag was there, so he decided to open it.

Inside this Black Bag that was just sitting on a wall next to a bus stop for many a day, was £10,300. He took it home, and showed his parents. They took it to the police, and three days later, the kid got beat up in school by a shitload of people for being so fucking stupid as to showing his parents what he found when clearly no-one had noticed it missing.

Of course, the Teachers intervened and said he did the right thing, but then us Six-Formers went on a Week Holiday together, and we went to a quiz made up by the teachers.

One of the questions was: "Name someone who has done something stupid in the last year."

Everyone answered: Nathan Walsh.

And everyone got a point.

Good times.

Wait how much is that in US currency? $20?
