None the Richer in Lafayette

Lafayette police are temporarily at a loss to determine who else is at a loss - of a substantial amount of money. A good Samaritan found a zippered pouch containing cash the week of Sept. 14 in the parking lot of the Old Firehouse School and turned it over to the office. The office staff contacted Lafayette police, and the pouch is currently in the evidence room, said police services assistant Eileen Fahy, who processes all incoming evidence, including found property. Most days she deals with backpacks containing clothing or toiletries. She says her storage space is limited and eventually the item will need to be transferred to the county sheriff's offices. Fahy said this money may represent "a bank deposit for a school sports program or a small business." To claim the item, contact the Lafayette Police Department at (925) 299-3236, describe the pouch and the amount of money it contains. The owner needs to appear in person, present identification, and sign for the pouch. Fahy summarized the loss saying, "It's somebody in the community," and from what she told Lamorinda Weekly, it isn't chump change.
