Local Police Advertise Lost Money On Craigslist
Don't even think about lying. Police said the person who lost the money should be able to describe how it was packaged.

LAKE FOREST PARK, WA - Are you missing some money? Someone recently turned in a chunk of change to Lake Forest Park police, and now they're trying to find the owner.
In pursuit of that, police this week posted an ad on Craigslist looking for the owner. But don't think you can just walk into the police station and grab the cash - the money was apparently distinctly packaged and you'll have to describe it to take ownership.

US Currency was turned into the Lake Forest Park Police Department by a citizen. This posting is an effort to return the found currency to it true owner. The currency was lost/recovered in the north end of King County. It is distinctive in the amount and how it was packaged. The true owner should be able to describe the currency amount (bill denominations and/or change), how packaged, when and where lost. If the owner comes forward and is confirmed, they will need to provide positive identification when the currency is returned.
If this sounds like your money, contact Lake Forest Park Officer Steve Parken.
