Backpack Containing $100,000 In Cash Left At Burger King In San Jose

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - An assistant manager at a Northern California Burger King restaurant found a backpack loaded with about $100,000 in a booth but so far no one has come forward to claim it.

Assistant manager Sahista Bakawla told KGO he spotted the blue backpack left in his San Jose, Calif. eatery early Wednesday.

He said he cleaned the tables three times but by 3 p.m. Wednesday he called the owner of the Burger King who opened it, hoping to find identification or a phone number.

But what Burger King owner Altaf Chaus found, instead, was a whopping amount of $100 bills inside the bag.

Officers came to the restaurant and opened the bag, which also contained some candy, a small amount of marijuana and a bank deposit slip.

Police are now working with the bank to find the bag's owner.
