Japanese find millions in lost tsunami cash - and return it (government, states)

[freefall]

"During the four months since the giant tsunami struck Japan's northern coast, more than 5,700 safes containing approximately $30 million has been recovered from the three hardest hit prefectures, Japan’s National Police Agency recently announced.

Remarkably – since residents of the tsunami zone have scattered across the country and even the world – 96 percent, or nearly $29.6 million in cash, has already been returned to its rightful owners, or if authorities feared the owner had died in the disaster, their closest relative."

They also crashed airplanes into boats for religious purposes. Japanese are an interesting people.

Another example of how big government doesn't... I mean, does works.

LOL @ government being responsible for nurturing honor and respect. I heard the Soviets were among the most respectful and caring folks in existence.

Honor and respecting the private property rights of others. It is a far cry from the typical looting you see in natural disaster areas like New Orleans.

This is a very classy, honorable thing to do. I find these traits of Japanese people very admirable.

96% seems like a really high figure to me, but I tend to be a skeptic by nature. Good for the honest people who do the right thing though.

The Japanese also eat animals into extinction.

There's good and bad in every culture.

They also produce lots of animated kiddie porn and sex dolls.

All that this proves is that Christian in the united States of America are some of the most corrupt people on the face of the Earth , because this could in no way ever -ever-ever happen in the United States.
