南韓仁川國際機場一名管理員，在「垃圾桶」撿到7條各1公斤重的金條，總價值為3億5000萬韓元（約新台幣963萬元）。

據《韓國時報》報導，依韓國法律規定，若金條原主出現，管理員依然可獲得黃金市價5％至20％報酬，約1750萬韓元（約新台幣48萬元）至7000萬韓元（約新台幣192萬元），若假如物主6個月後都沒出面認領，那麼全數金條就歸管理員所有。
不過，金條在垃圾桶被發現時，且以用報紙包裹著。警方懷疑金條來源可能不單純，疑似物主擔心被海關查緝逮捕，才會將金條丟棄之後在回來取。如果7塊金條確認是贓物或與犯罪行為有關，管理員將一毛錢也拿不到。

A stroke of luck? A janitor may become the legitimate owner of seven bars of gold, worth 350 million won (US$327,000), which he found in a garbage bin in Incheon International Airport.
Police identified the Korean owner of the gold bars, each weighing one kilogramme and found wrapped in newspapers, and concluded he had discarded them for fear of being caught.
So far, the owner hasn’t come forward. If the owner doesn’t make a claim in six months, the janitor would take ownership of the cache according to a “finders keepers” law.
In case the owner shows up, the janitor will still be able to keep about five per cent to 20 per cent of the market price of the gold, or 17.5 million won (US$163,000) to 70 million won (US$653,000), according to the “lost articles act” in South Korea.
Here is the catch: He will not be able to keep a penny if the gold is a tainted good or connected to criminal activity.

The discarded gold bars were found in a bin at Incheon International Airport Getty
A cleaner could be in for a surprise windfall after they found seven gold bars dumped in an airport bin.
Worth £240,000, they were wrapped in newspapers in South Korea's Incheon International Airport.
If the owner does not claim them within six months, the cleaner, who has not been named, will be able to take ownership of it under a "finders’ keepers" law.
Man's 'fake' rare coin actually worth millions, experts say
Police suspect a criminal had discarded them when he feared being caught, The Korea Times reported.
The cleaner was emptying a bin when he made the discovery. The bars, worth 350m Korean won, weighed 1kg each.
If the owner does come forward, under a "lost articles" law the cleaner will be allowed to keep between five per cent and 20 per cent of the market price of the cache - or up to £48,000.
If the gold is shown to be linked to criminal activity, he will not be allowed to keep any of its value.
However, there is currently no proof that is the case.
