    Just read an article on Yahoo 7 news saying a woman gets to keep $18,000 of gold bars found on Forresters beach in NSW. I know a few of you have had some boating accidents where you have lost a load.

    Yep, read this one too.

    Appears she found about $18k worth of bars, and handed them into the police.

    The police had no luck tracing the owners, even with serial numbers on the bars.

    So, 4 months later, a 24 yo woman gets to keep the bars.

    Nice windfall for doing the right thing.
