Finders Keepers

A homeless man who found at least $70,000 in cash abandoned in a Texas park has been told he can keep the money.MyFoxAustin reports the Bastrop City Council voted unanimously to let Timothy Yost keep the bag of 70 $100 bills and 40 kruggerand coins he found in a wet plastic bag January 18 along the Colorado River, Texas.
Kruggerand coins are collector coins from South Africa, that, according to one seller's website, sell for approximately $1,600 apiece.

Police seized the money after Yost brought the loot to a local bank in hopes of exchanging some of the wet bills for dry ones. Yost and his attorney, Aleta Peacock, filed a lawsuit against the city to get the money back, which has since been dropped.
