Diner leaves $1 million in a suitcase at Australian pizzeria
AUSTRALIAN POLICE ARE looking for the owner of a suitcase “full of money” that was left at the Italian restaurant in Sydney by a mystery customer.
Ten Network television reported the suitcase left at Cafe Marco this morning contained about AUD$1 million (€728,000) in $50 notes.
But police will only describe the suitcase contents as “a significant amount of cash.”
Detective Inspector Ian Pryde told reporters a man around 30-years-old wearing surfing shorts and a singlet carried the suitcase into the cafe. He then “seemed to get spooked” and left without the money.
A cafe staff member contacted by telephone told The Associated Press she was too busy with customers to comment.
