Man Forgets Thousands Of Dollars in Toilet »

Posted By TimALoftis 10 months, 2 weeks ago in News

A German businessman lost more than $13,000 in a plastic bag after forgetting the cash in a public toilet, authorities said on Thursday.

Hesse state police said the man took the "five-figure" sum with him as he stopped to relieve himself in a motorway service station near Haiger in western Germany. He then drove off.

A police spokesman said it was not clear why the man took half an hour to notice his loss -- by which time the money had gone.

    CASH! Piles of cold hard cash is the best way to weather the current economic situation. I learned a lot about spending, SAVING and living a "richer" life from the book "How to Become Filthy Rich on Your Current Income" at www.how-to-become-rich.com. If people read books like this one we would not have the current situation we do.

      Sounds like he didn't need it, or maybe he found it in a washroom, and since it was so new to him, he forgot it. Whoever found it, sure didn't forget to take it... what a schmuck! Thats German for "s&$t for brains."

        if you are lying you need to be reported to the police which i belive that you more than likly are telling a big fat lie. How could you write something like that on here when there is kids out there who are in need for real. and if you are telling the truth i am sorry for you and i hope you get some help.

                Dont be so gullible, That guy never had nay money to begin with, now he will prey on public sympathy for help in replacing "the money" and will probably file a law suit against the property owner where he supposedly left the loot,

                  I agree with you kensdelrey. And some idiot lawyer will pick up the case and a jury will award him 10 times the amount. He needs to be prosecuted!

                    It's amazing that no matter what the story I'm reading is about, the posts always veeeeeer off the subject into political waters. Did anybody ever see that video of the "Wheel of Fortune" contestant that lit up every letter on the board and STILL got the puzzle wrong?!? Maybe we can blame THAT on Obama too...
