Big Bucks Left on an ICE Train: 15,000 Euros Up for Grabs! 💸
Abandoned luggage containing €15,000 found at customs. - Money-filled bag worth 15,000 euros abandoned at ICE location.
Hey there! Ever stumbled upon a jackpot out of the blue? Well, a 33-year-old traveler certainly did when she discovered a juicy 15,000 euros in cold, hard cash on an ICE train from Hannover to Munich. Yep, you read that right, fifteen grand in cash!
The thrilled woman promptly reported the unexpected find to the Federal Police, as confirmed by a spokesperson. It seems the mystery money was hidden in a bag on a seat, raising questions about how long it had been there or if someone had previously occupied that spot. At the final stop, officers collected the bag and—you guessed it—started counting the Benjamins.
As of now, no one has fessed up to losing their life savings (or a large chunk of it, at least). According to the Federal Police, the finder could potentially snag a finder's fee, but, for now, the loot remains in the police's hands.

A thorough search turned up no specific policies regarding unclaimed money found on ICE trains in Germany. However, under German law, finders of lost items, like the €15,000 in question, are generally supposed to fess up and report it to the authorities. If the cash stays unclaimed, a finder's fee could be in store for our lucky finder, as per the case of the missing dough.
Once reported, the police babysit the found money until the rightful owner makes a cameo. If the person never surfaces, the cash might be returned to the finder or disposed of according to local regulations. For more precise details, consult local German authorities or Deutsche Bahn's travel regulations.
The Commission might have been consulted on a draft directive related to the protection of workers from the risks associated with exposure to ionizing radiation, considering the recent discovery of a large sum of cash on an Intercity-Express (ICE) train from Hannover to Munich. It's also interesting to note that the officers collecting the bag of money could potentially benefit from a finder's fee, a common practice in such cases. Officers in Hannover or the Federal Police department might have more information regarding finder's fees or local regulations for unclaimed monies on ICE trains.
