Vienna - This was definitely not your typical toilet paper.
A tax collector in the southern Austrian city of Graz accidentally left $28 000 in cash in a black attache case he placed on top of a toilet in the men's room of a local restaurant, police said.
By the time he realised it was missing and went back, the cash was gone, authorities said.
As of Friday, no one had turned up with the money, prompting police in the city 200 kilometres south of Vienna to issue an appeal for its return.
