Kids find fortune

ATHENS: Children playing in northwestern Greece found a bag containing € 43,000 (1.75 million baht) that an elderly woman had hidden in a derelict building fearing the crisishit country’s banks were unsafe, police said yesterday. While playing in the city of Ioannina on Friday, a group of children aged 9 and 10 stumbled upon the money in a bag stashed away in the building. Nearby residents spotted the children playing with and even tearing up banknotes and alerted the police. They traced the bag to an 83-year-old woman who said she withdrew her savings from the bank three years ago and hid it in the abandoned building which she owns. AFP
