CommentsA good day for:
Scavengers, as an unnamed man found nearly pounds 100,000 while rummaging through a rubbish bin at a railway station in Melbourne, Australia. He may keep it if nobody claims it within three months.
A bad day for:
The Muppets, as thieves broke into an exhibition of the original Jim Henson puppets in Germany and stole Ernie and Bert. Miss Piggy was damaged in the struggle, but Kermit and Big Bird were unharmed.
