A friend of mine found a holdall with [IIRC] around £20,000 in it; this was some twenty odd years ago. His first thought was woop-de-woop, but he handed it in. Turned out to be forged with a shed load of finger prints that helped nab several Austalians criminals. He got a nice thank you and a reward from the woodentops.

Just this past Tuesday, I found an iPhone and returned it to its owner (true story, no smiley).
Windows 8 is the resurrected version of Microsoft Bob. The only thing missing is the Fisher-Price logo.

Depends on how good (or bad) the local laws are.

Truly, a great story.

In Norway I think you can demand a 10% finder fee if you give it up to the police.

Again, he's nailed it[^].
Are you in the weird "sorry it's a mess" or the normal "feck it, that's where I left last week's pizza"?

Love this.
Chris and the Hamsters are respected.
I would love to visit Canada one day, it looks just like home to me.

You should visit India someday, we have much wider variety of wildlife on our street, and the best part is you can watch them year long and they will never attack you.

I would love to visit India as well.
I like the attack bit as well though.
Adds to the excitement...

It bites back however as this[^] reports.
You go down a river full of crocodiles in an inflatable dinghy. What part of snap, snap, snap did they fail to appreciate. 
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Ya, but they're humans and you can't hunt them. Legally at least.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Cows, buffaloes, goats and dogs are not considered wildlife in other parts of the world.

Seems like a call for hunting season is in order.

Uhm, your linked video was taken in Estes Park, Colorado.
The "U.S. Route 36" highway sign was a dead give-away.

The internet really tests journalist. And apparently the BBC as well.
I just google mapped Lakefront street which also shows in the video as a street sign.
You are indeed correct Sir.
It is indeed Estes Park Colorado.
Now I want to go to Colorado.
Thanks for pointing this out.

If you do go, I would suggest going during this time of the year. In the winter months, the air pollution along the front range (eastern side of the mountains where all the major cities are) can be miserable. But if you like brownish-orange colored air that burns your eyes and lungs, go for the Denver area when they are experiencing a temperature inversion with no winds.

Yea, September to October is the time to go if you want to see elk in populated areas.
Soon after, the herds go up hill for winter and mostly disappear in the forests.
