NEWS STORY ~
CLAYTON, Mo. — A jailer made a surprise "find" in the bathroom of the St. Louis County facility's intake center.
The correctional officer found $55,000 stuffed behind a toilet paper dispenser at the St. Louis County Justice Center in downtown Clayton last week.
Police Chief Thomas Byrne says the bundle of money was in $100 and $50 bills.
None of the inmates who were interviewed knew anything about it.
Byrne said the money has been placed in a special bank account until the rightful owner is determined.

Note: I suppose the officer who found the money may be able to claim it after a certain time period has expired. Can you imagine the celebration, complete with toasts and remarks that would accompany the reason for his "windfall"?
"Bottoms up"!
"Holy Crap"!
"It pays to be a "regular guy".
"Were you always good at hide and seek"?
Ok, sorry for the puns...it's Friday, gimme a break. I'm already in weekend mode.
