When you hear someone dropped a lot of cash at IKEA, it’s usually not meant to be taken literally.
But that’s exactly what happened last month at the Swedish retailer’s Coquitlam, B.C., store, where Mounties say someone actually did drop a “large amount of cash” that was, fortunately, spotted by an employee.
The money was found on Sept. 11, but police say they believe it was dropped “sometime in early September.”

“The finder demonstrated genuine integrity by turning the money over to the police in the hopes that it could be returned to its rightful owners,” Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Alexa Hodgins said in a media release.
“Coquitlam RCMP would like to remind the public to report lost large sums of money to the Police to increase the chances of having the money returned.”
