Student finds 5 million yen stuffed in his mailbox

Daily Yomiuri On-Line: "An 18-year-old university student became temporarily rich Tuesday when
he found a brown envelope containing 5.03 million yen in the mailbox of
his apartment in Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto."

The student took the cash to a nearby police box. The money was all in 10,000 yen bills, both old and new, with bundles of bills held together with rubber bands, police said.

They said they had not received any reports about such a large amount of missing money in the area, and they were trying to track down the owner.

The student, who was not identified, found the envelope at about 11 a.m. Tuesday. The money was not there when he checked his mailbox at about 7 p.m. Monday, the police said.
