Oops! £44,000 mistakenly sent to a teenager

18 07 2007

A British teenager who bought a Sony PlayStation 2 on eBay for £95 ($194) got more than he bargained for when he opened the package. Instead of a shiny PS2 gaming console, there was a whole heap of euros – €65,400 ($90,000, £44,000) to be precise – stacked neatly inside. A spokesman for eBay said that the parcel’s contents were “somewhat unusual”, and that they would help the police in any way they could. When the parcel arrived, on March 20, the boy’s parents contacted the Norfolk Constabulary, who are now holding the money under the Proceeds of Crime Act. If the owner does not come forward by September 22, then the family can apply to have the cash returned to them – unless the police apply to hold onto the money for a longer period.
