Chalk one up for losers and weepers in their eternal battle against finders and keepers.
An altruistic City of North Vancouver employee found a large wad of cash Sept. 2 and promptly turned it over to police.
"The amount of cash is significant enough that someone is very likely missing it," said North Vancouver RCMP spokesman Cpl. Richard De Jong.
In order to ward off false claims, the police aren't giving out details about how much was found or where the ethical employee found it.
Large amounts of money have been known to go missing during illicit deals but there's no reason to suspect anything untoward in this case, according to De Jong.
"We're assuming someone accidentally lost it. Until proven differently, it's still legal tender."
Anyone who can say how much money was lost and where they lost it is asked to call the RCMP at 604-985-1311.
