Lost Money: Inheritance Check Goes Missing

A Canadian man says he's broke after the United Parcel Service lost track of his inheritance.

The intended $846,000 delivery was a bank draft from TD Canada Trust, which still hasn't refunded the lost fortune 10 months later. Instead, UPS offered an apology and $32 to pay for the mailingcosts, according to a CBC News report.

Taylor sent the money through UPS from her lawyer about 270 miles away in Georgetown, Ontario, so Herbert wouldn't have to worry about picking up the money. She obtained the bank draft in Februaryafter she said the bank advised it as the safest way to send the large sum. TD guaranteed Taylor and her husband, John, that the money would be replaced if the draft was lost, she said.

"They said a bank draft was more appropriate" for that amount of money, Taylor said. "Never in my wildest imagination did I think something like this would happen."

The delivery company said the dough could not be traced.

The bank is refusing to refund the money unless Taylor signed an agreement to pay them back if someone cashes in the lost draft. She signed the agreement, but says the bank "never paid anyone adime." The bank also demanded she let TD put a lien against her house if the draft was cashed, but she refused.

"If the bank really wants indemnity, then UPS should sign it," she said.

Found Money: Homeless Man Makes Airport Cash Haul

Police are hunting a homeless man who made off with hundreds of thousands of pounds after he happened to lean on an unlocked door at Charles de Gaulle airport.

Police are on the hunt for the man who swiped £265,000 (€300,000) from the French airport on Friday.

The door of the Loomis cash management company in terminal 2F was not properly secured, allowing the man, in his 50s, to chance upon two bags of cash.

An official told Le Parisien the man "benefited from a combination of circumstances to land himself a huge Christmas present."

At around 5.30 p.m. an alarm was triggered after an intrusion to the premises, which stores large amounts of money.

Border police officers and the on-site manager attended the scene and found the door left open. CCTV footage later showed the man searching the bins outside the office at 5.20 p.m.

He leaned on the office door and was surprised when it opened. After going inside he re-emerged a few minutes later carrying the two bags, the French newspaper reported.
