    Man leaves a million bucks at Italian restaurant

    SYDNEY (AP) — Mamma mia! That's a lot of dough, even for an upscale pizzeria.

    Police are looking for the owner of a suitcase "full of money" that was left at the Italian restaurant in Sydney by a mystery customer.

    Ten Network television reported the suitcase left at Cafe Marco Tuesday morning contained about 1 million Australian dollars ($1 million) in 50 dollar notes.

    But police will only describe the suitcase contents as "a significant amount of cash."

    Detective Inspector Ian Pryde told reporters a man around 30-years-old wearing surfing shorts and a singlet carried the suitcase into the cafe. He then "seemed to get spooked" and left without the money.

    A cafe staff member contacted by telephone told The Associated Press she was too busy with customers to comment.

      If I see a man put down a suitcase," get spooked", and leave in a hurry, I'm leaving in MORE of a hurry.

        LOL! No kidding! I am just going to go out on a limb here and guess that that money was perhaps not obtained by legal and ethical means? I wonder how far the guy ran after delivering the suitcase, and getting "spooked,"..maybe he will surface in Zimbabwe?

      Bet that guy wakes up with a severed horse head in his bed.

        No... a horse will wake up with that guy's head next to his bed.

        TFF Deck. Actually, you are both wrong. The guy's wife wakes up to find his head and a horse's severed head playing poker

        You get spooked and don't come back with the goods meant to be exchanged for that money, you're dead. You can get whacked for losing a fraction of that amount.
    • Aaron  •  Augusta, United States  •  6 mths ago
      The police will be certain to find the owner of that $500.
      • Fred Flintstoner 6 mths ago
        $500? I thought it was $400, or was it $300,but heres $200, the whole amount.

        My Dad used to repeat this line, in some variation, when I was a young guy. It's not his line, he just delivered it with style and humor.

        "Hey Dad, can I have $20 bucks?" " $10 bucks! What do you need $5 bucks for?"

        Classic. I do it to my son now.

        A "singlet" is what Australians and New Zealanders call a tank top or underwear style vest.

    • oldhaag  •  6 mths ago
      He must have been VERY "spooked" to leave that much cash behind.
    • Buck  •  Fair Oaks, United States  •  6 mths ago
      Drug deal gone wild! Sound like it is not his money. Probably a drop for someone and he didn't even know he was carrying a million dollars. Bet you he is hiding out from both the cops and the owner of the money.
