Bloody hell!
Of course, one then has to wonder what the reaction of whoever that money was meant for was when he opened his box and found a PS2
Police are trying to trace the owner of 65,400 euros (£44,000) mistakenly sent to a teenager who bought a Playstation Two for £95 on eBay.
The cash arrived in a box at the house in Aylsham, Norfolk, on 20 March this year instead of the games console.
The boy's parents contacted police and detectives swiftly arrived at the house and counted the money.
The police are holding the money Under the Proceeds of Crime Act while the matter is investigated.
Magistrates have given Norfolk Police until September to hold on to the money before the case comes up in court again.
If the money remains unclaimed the family could potentially apply for it to be returned to them under the Police Property Act.
A police spokesman said: "We have until 22 September before we have to go back to court to apply for a further order if necessary."
