A British youngster ordered a PlayStation 2 off of eBay for 95 pounds, or around $193 in US currency, a ridiculous price, considering I saw a dozen of them at the local pawn shop for $80 a year and a half ago.

Regardless, it wasn’t exactly a rip-off in this case, considering the yonker received a package with over 65,000 Euros stacked inside, or the equivalent of $90,000.

And the fool told his parents. And those fools told the cops, who are holding the money while eBay and the government investigate.

The 16-year-old can apply for the money’s return after September 22, if the cops don’t find (and they’ll sure look, mind you) a reason to hold it further.

Like I said, not the safest plan I have in mind, considering goons can most certainly track the youngster down and reclaim their money. But, with that kind of money, you can buy a new house and hide out until the coast is clear.

Golden Rule of Found Money: Unless it’s obvious it belongs to a crippled old lady who lost it by some unfortunate twist of fate, it’s your money and nobody needs to know about it until they need to know about it.

But I wouldn’t follow my advice if I were you.
