Janitor finds $325M gold bars in trash

A janitor who found $325 million worth of gold bars in a garbage bin at a South Korean airport might be allowed to keep the precious metal, police said.

The seven gold bars were found in a trash can at Incheon International Airport in Seoul.

Investigators said the gold bars are believed to have been ditched by two men who were transporting the bullion from Hong Kong to Japan. The men are believed to have abandoned the gold because they were worried about being searched by customs.

Police said the owner must come forward to claim the gold, or else the $325 million worth of precious metal will become property of the janitor who found it under the country’s finders-keepers law.

The janitor would still receive five to 20 percent of the gold’s value if the owner comes forward, police said.


Cash falls from the open door of armoured truck

The Indiana State Police said the Brinks truck’s doors opened while traveling near the Holt Road exit of Interstate 70 in Indianapolis, causing hundreds of $20 bills to fly out on to the roadway.

Witness Jazmyne Cooper captured video of bystanders picking up the cash while police officers attempted to stop anyone from leaving with the money.

ISP spokesman Sgt. John Perrine warned that anyone found to have picked up and kept cash that fell from the truck could face charges if they don’t turn the money over to investigators.

“People know right from wrong and anyone we track down who kept a dollar of this money will be arrested for theft,” ISP Sgt. Bill Dalton said. “The time to do the right thing and call us to turn in the money is now, because once we knock on your door, you won’t be able to avoid being arrested.”


Huge seven-foot ‘half human, half animal’ beast spotted

Monsters that roam the night are a myth, right? Demons only exist in Harry Potter books, don’t they? But recently captured terrifying footage of a mysterious creature is terrorising a neighbourhood in the town of Santa Fe, Argentina.

It is said that the giant animal has so far butchered two dogs — a German Shepherd and a Pitbull.

A bizarre photo snapped by a local, shows a creature with four, tall and thin legs has a hunchback similar to a camel, a long neck and a face which resembles a horse or a rabbit. The creature is walking on all-fours and looks to be a humongous. But so far, there is only one photo of the beast.

It was posted onto YouTube by UFOmania and has had nearly 30,000 views. However, we recommend our readers to take this news as a hoax because there are several photo and video editors available in the market which literally can make you believe the impossible.
