£70k found in old laundry basket

aKho · Oct 24, 2005

A German pensioner found nearly £70,000 in an old laundry basket she had bought at a flea market for just five pounds.

The woman, from Bavaria, was cleaning the basket when she found two savings accounts books worth nearly £60,000, and more than £10,000 cash.

She took the money immediately to her local police station, telling officers: "I want to sleep with a clear conscience."

Police later found money belonged to a woman who had died two years ago leaving her heirs with nothing, and they had no idea she had savings when they cleared out her flat.

Now they are to inherit the money, plus interest, while the woman who turned the money over will get a reward, expected to be more than £3,000.
