Boy Finds Y15 Mil yen Floating in an Irrigation Ditch in Saitama Japan
The weird thing is that money is found like this ALL the time in Japan and Japanese folks ALWAYS turn it in to the cops. Sheesh, I would not want to wait the required six months for the “owner” to claim the money in accordance with Japanese law. However Japanese do not see any logic in finders-keepers-losers-weepers.
Boy finds Y15 mil in cash floating in Saitama irrigation ditch
SAITAMA — A 13-year-old boy found about 15 million yen in cash floating in an irrigation ditch in Hasuda, Saitama Prefecture, on Saturday…the boy, who was training with a junior baseball team, found the cache, consisting mostly of 10,000 yen bills, at around 10:30 a.m. and police officers later collected it, they said.
Losers keepers; Finders weepers.

DAMN! This is just like the case in 1990 when somebody found an
additional 20yen at a dumping spot one week after the first batch. My
friend Bob Licciardi (a truly f’ed gaijin of 35+years in Japan) was
taking his motorcycle out to search the area a ONE day before the
second cache was found but was interupted by a farkquing tax audit.
