Very bizarre delivery through my mailbox

I would stick it on a horse at odds of 14-1 :money:

The cynic in me would keep it quiet in front of the neighbours however, and also advise your sons not to broadcast it.

Keep it and if anyone comes say the dog ate it!

Nicholas, I may do that, but I would need help, I've never placed a bet in my life!

whilst you are "looking after " it, you may as well use it to make yourself some dough. Visit the matched betting board and you could probably turn it into £150 in a couple of weeks!

LOL ljonski, strangely enough I was going to suggest that as well (After the 'stick it on a horse' suggestion, obviously )

This morning I got up at around 8:30 as usual. When I came downstairs I noticed something in my letter box cage. I have to have a cage because my dog thinks it's his job to shred the postman's fingers when they poke through the letter box.

I opened the cage and took out a roll of twenty pound notes. They were clipped together with a big paper clip. There were five, so in total £100.

I have two sons who live with me, aged 19 and 21. I asked them both if they knew anything about it, thinking that they'd lent it to one of their mates and they were expecting it back.

Nope. Nothing.

I put it in my drawer. I'm not 100% sure what to do with it. What would you do?

I wonder if it WAS anything to do with your sons? I am getting a feeling it may be. I would be grilling them if it were me; this sounds a bit dodgy to me. Who just shoves 100 quid through a random letterbox?!

But then I am a very suspicious person and I trust NO one!

Someone lost a huge roll of £20 notes outside my house once, it was £2,400 worth. I found the elastic band if anyone wants it back?

Drug money. Possibly wrong house meant for a dodgy neighbor either that or one of your sons is dealing(half joking there). Personally I'd report to the police don't want your local dealer coming around to collect

Do you live in Colchester by any chance?
