Thief steals case, but misses $13,000 inside
Crime didn't pay!
BERLIN (Reuters) - A thief stole a briefcase and threw it away without noticing it contained 10,000 euros ($13,660) in cash, German authorities said Thursday.
Oops!
"I think they'll be annoyed when they find out," said a spokesman for police in the western city of Duesseldorf.
'Annoyed' is one way of putting it.
The case's owner, a 57-year-old Iranian businessman, had reported it missing as he prepared to board a flight in Duesseldorf airport. A policewoman later found it -- ransacked, but still containing the two cash-filled envelopes.
Hmmmm... what was the cash for, Hossein?
