When a British 16-year-old paid f95 on eBay for a
second-hand PlayStation 2 console and two games,
he wasn't sure if it was a bargain. But when the goods
arrived and he opened the box, the console was there
but the games weren't. lnstead, there was €65,400 in
banknotes! The boy, who has not given his name, was
amazed. He told his parents, and they gave the money
to the police, who began an investigation. So far, they
haven't found out who the cash belongs to or how it
got into the box. So what happens to the money? That r*l
depends. lf the police discover that the money came
from crime, it belongs to the government. But if nobody
can prove where it's from, the boy and his family can
apply to keep it!
