Money mystery pieced together
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Two dustmen are in the money after finding about £3,500 at the bottom of a refuse chute. But Bill Bridges and Andy Thomas will have to spend days sticking it back together, because each £10 and £20 note is torn in pieces. They found the money in a metal bin at the foot of a seven-storey block of flats in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey.
The cash is in more than 8,000 pieces but a bank has said if two-thirds of each note is produced, it will exchange them. The discovery was made in November but no one has claimed the money.
