Man Leaves $28,000 On Restaurant Toilet

<snip>

VIENNA, Austria --A tax collector in the southern Austrian city of Graz accidentally left $28,000 in cash in a black attache case he placed on top of a toilet in the men's room of a local restaurant Thursday, police said.

By the time he realized it was missing and went back, the cash was gone, authorities said.

As of Friday, no one had turned up with the money, prompting police in the city 120 miles south of Vienna to issue an appeal for its return.

1. Sure he did. Sure he did.

Wonder if the tax collector will be driving a new car anytime soon? :eyes:

3. What is it with toilets?

Does this area involve losing memory too? I found several hundred dollars in a deposit bag on the back of one. I ran all over the place looking for the owner. She was totally unruffled about the whole thing.
