"Looking for the Owner of 25 Million Won Found in a Garbage Bag... Finally"

The first news is about 25 million won found in a garbage bag.

A bundle of cash totaling 25 million won was discovered inside a garbage bag in Incheon.

As the owner ultimately failed to appear, ownership has been transferred to the person who first discovered it.

It was on February 10.

The 25 million won in cash was found in a discarded standard garbage bag next to a villa in Jemulpo-gu, Incheon.

A person in their 60s, surnamed A, was checking garbage bags to collect old clothes when they discovered the bundle of cash and reported it to the police.

The police posted a notice of the acquisition on the integrated lost-and-found portal and local newspapers, and also put up flyers around the discovery site.

They also searched for the owner of the 25 million won by analyzing fingerprints and surrounding CCTV footage.

Investigators even conducted door-to-door inquiries at dozens of households near the discovery site, but failed to secure any clues to identify the owner.

Meanwhile, six months have passed.

Under the law, if the owner of lost property does not appear within six months of public notice, ownership is transferred to the finder.

Accordingly, it was confirmed that person A, who first found the cash bundle, received 19.23 million won—which is the 25 million won minus a 22 percent tax and local newspaper publication costs.
