Once again, a mysterious wad of cash has turned up on the ground and been turned in to police by an honest citizen.
It’s the fourth such occurrence of members of the public literally tripping over piles of money on the North Shore in the past month. Large sums of cash were found recently at a bank machine, on a North Vancouver sidewalk and on a local trail.
This time, a senior citizen came across the cash lying on the ground near the intersection of 19th and Marine in West Vancouver, just before lunch time on Saturday. She turned it in to the West Vancouver Police Department.
“It’s a substantial amount,” said Const. Jeff Palmer, spokesman for the department. Anyone who believes the money is theirs and can provide identifying details can claim it from police. If nobody claims the cash in 90 days, the woman who turned it in is legally entitled to it.
