Man flushes €11000 down the toilet

[Kellanved]

AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands — A German train passenger on his way to buy a car in the Netherlands unwittingly dumped 11,000 euros ($13,530) down the train toilet.

"While using the loo, his 11,000 euros fell out of his clothes and disappeared down the toilet landing on the railway track," police spokesman Peter van Raaij said.

The next train stopped so the conductor could retrieve the cash, but he found only 4,000 euros.

I guess he now needs a good money laundering place for those €4000... .
I'm quite surprised that the old style "drop on the track" toilets are still allowed in the Netherlands.
