Police are trying to trace the owner of 65,400 euros (£44,000) mistakenly sent to a 16-year-old boy who bought a Playstation Two for £95 on eBay.
The cash arrived in a box at the house in Aylsham, Norfolk, with the games console, but minus two games.

Score!!!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine paying 95 pounds for a ps2 PLUS 44,000 pounds in cash!!! DEAL OF THE CENTURY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And those people who bought a ps3 and got a new HD TV at launch thought they got a deal .

44,000 pounds in cash

ok, what kind of person packs that much money in cash by post?

Probably the kind of person who was expecting someone else to show up really soon looking for it.

I' d rather have 44,000 pounds (lbs) of US cash than 44,000£. Anyway, I wonder if he gave the seller positive feedback?

What a fucking pussy who reported it.

If I got that much money packed in with a PS2 I would change my name and move to another country. They' d never find me or their money, I would disappear.

What a scam artist. They gipped the kid 2 PS2 games.

LOL my keyboard doesn' t have the UK pounds sterling symbol, only the Dollar ($). I should have said US$90,000 (the equivalent in US dollars). 44,000 pounds of US cash - i don' t think there is enough US dollars to get close to that amount!

I' m surprised no one at the post office stole the money!! Or the ps2!!

I thought the same until i realised the seller might want his money back....

LOL, and seller thought that giving the kid 44,000 UK pounds was enough to compensate him for not including those 2 games, the scoundrel!!

After going through all that, wouldnt you have spent all your money?

Obviously they would want it back, that' s my point. I' m saying I would take off with it. I would have no guilt either. If they' re crazy enough to send that much money to a stranger they deserve to lose it. It' s not even theft, they gave it to him!

If they caught me I would claim ignorance. What 44,000 pounds? I threw out the packing material. Where the fuck are my PS2 games I paid for?

if it was in the millions i would ' run away with it' but for 90,000 us dollers? it isnt that much for new life..
