Quirky World: Hunt for heir after homeless woman leaves €45k in cash

GERMANY: Tens of thousands of euro in cash was found in the possessions of an 83-year-old woman who lived at a homeless shelter and died last week.

Mihael Pohar, spokesman for the Duesseldorf district court, said officials found a bag containing €45,000 in €500 notes; another €930 in smaller bills; $6,648 and a small amount of Moldovan currency.

Pohar said a social worker who dealt with the woman told authorities she may have a son in the US.
