A Boy Spotted Strange “Trash” Floating in the River. When His Dad Pulled It Out, They Called the Police Immediately.

The Payday

Back in Vienna, the clock was ticking.

Under Austrian law, if you find cash and turn it in, you are entitled to a finder’s fee of 5-10% immediately.

The boy and his dad were instantly handed about $11,500 just for being honest.

But here is the kicker:

The law also states that if the rightful owner is not found within one year, the finder gets 100% of the money.

Since no drug lord or bank robber ever came forward to claim the wet cash (for obvious reasons), that young boy likely walked away with the entire fortune.

A sunny afternoon, a quick swim, and a lifetime of college tuition paid for.

Sometimes, it pays to stop and pick up the trash.
