A B.C. resident who donated clothing to a local charity may have unwittingly given up a wallet full of cash that ended up at a thrift store in Coquitlam.
RCMP say employees at a Value Village were surprised to find the wallet stuffed with money among the clothing donation brought in on Feb. 6.
Cpl. Jamie Chung says the donations were recently collected by Big Brothers from more than 900 homes in the Lower Mainland, including Richmond.
Theres no identification in the wallet, and police are urging the owner of the wallet to contact them as soon as possible.
Mounties must turn the money over to the Receiver General after 90 days.
Killer gets day pass
The National Parole Board says Steven LeClair, 66 convicted of murdering four people including a Richmond RCMP officer almost 30 years ago can have two unescorted passes each month.
In 1980, LeClair walked into a Vancouver bar, where he had been kicked out, and shot three people dead with a .45-calibre. He then stole a car, drove to Richmond, walked into the RCMP detachment and shot Const. Tom Agar through the heart.
