Woman returns blanket, forgets about cash

A woman wrapped 40,000 yuan ($5,850) in a brand new towel blanket she received as a gift while buying a jacket from a mall in Benxi, Liaoning province, and then returned the jacket and blanket to the shop, saying the jacket did not fit well last week.

Later that night, the woman remembered she had wrapped a whole load of cash in the blanket and phoned the police.
