Police in Barrie, Ont., are commending employees at a recycling centre after more than $100,000 was found inside an old television. When they peeked inside, they found a cash box and banking records dating back to 1985. The employees called police, who traced the records to a 68-year-old man in Bolsover, Ontario. It turns out he had inherited the money from his parents, then put it away for a rainy day and forgot about it. He subsequently gave the television to a family friend, who had no inkling of the treasure behind the screen, and eventually brought it in to be recycled.
