A plastic bag containing about HK$74,000 in cash has been returned to its relieved owner after apparently being mistaken for rubbish and kicked out of a bus.
The bag was picked up in the street by a passer-by who turned it in to police.
The bag had been dropped by a 23-year-old pub manager after he fell asleep on the 68X bus from Yuen Long to Mong Kok on his way home at the end of his shift. It contained the pub's takings.
The bag was found at a bus stop outside Mei Foo Sun Chuen in Lai Chi Kok Road, Cheung Sha Wan, at about 6.30am yesterday.
The bag was small and other passengers probably thought it was rubbish and kicked it out of the vehicle
"The bag was small and other passengers probably thought it was rubbish and kicked it out of the vehicle," a police officer said.
Chan Chung-lam, 60, accidentally stepped on the bag after getting off another bus. He said he was about to toss the bag in the rubbish bin to clear the path when he noticed a wad of money fall out.
