Dang... Why can't my eBay packages contain such hidden gems?

A British teen got more than he bargained for when he bought a PlayStation 2 on eBay.

When the package arrived at the 16-year-old boy’s Norfolk home, there were 65,400 Euros(approximately $90,200) inside, according to a BBC report. The police are now trying to trace the package back to the owner.

My wife ordered a designer change purse about 6 or 7 years ago and someone had left a solitare diamond ring in it, albeit a small one, but it was a diamond ring.
Yes, I mailed the ring back.

Drug Money? That is what I am thinking. So no one will step forward and claim it.

Although it could be someone who used it for a tin can to save money and their spouse or child sold it without looking inside.

Well at least the lad and AOG was honest enough to return what wasn't theirs. Kudos to both!

I'm more adapt to believe drug money than someone using it for bank..If no one claims it I hope he gets it back...Honesty should be rewarded...

This was several years ago, but I remember emailing the seller and telling he what I found. She told me that she bought the change purse at a yard sale and knows the person it came from, but didn't know about the ring.
To be honest, it felt like she was lying in the email and that she didn't know where it came from, but I had to be the boy scout (my wife's nickname for me) and mail it back.
