well i found it but chucked it back ,it was a digi camera but looked a bit shitty so i chucked it back in and one of the labourers picked it out opened the leather pouch it was in i said its crap but f**k me 50 quid dropped out the leather poach 5 ten pound notes folded and as crisp as you like who ever owned it must have hid the money in the case under the camera and forgotten f*****g typical ,but 2 days later on the same job the same labourer hands right into a black bag and hey presto it was full of side opening bags full of shit jackpot

The town Lewis flooded out a few years back and i had the complete contents of a pet shop,me and a mate were there all day and even had to go and empty the van before refilling it.In the end the owners son came and said i think you've had enough now,i told him to feck off he's been paid out for it all and it will only go to land fill.Did a car boot in brighton and made a tidy sum,did spend a day in the cells that week for taking a kids push bike out of a skip.A woman my mate had dumped years before when they were at school caught us and called the old bill,nothing like a woman scorned eh?.
