@ExtraOrder Gotta proclaim honesty I guess? I mean, not only was the owner a shitbag, he also said the money was intended for crimes and he didn't even want to bother with it any longer.
Even so they would have gotten the money in the end (after nobody comes to claim it in a reasonable time) if Japan lost and found rules are like most others. Yet they skipped it just because of the risk (not certainty) that someone might mention it somewhere that would make them minor celebrities for fifteen minutes..
