A man in Essex found a gold Rolex watch in the mud as he cleaned out a roadside drain. He took it to the police, who said it would legally be his in 30 days, if it wasn’t claimed…It has been.  The owner rewarded him, but I wonder by what percentage of its monetary value?

    1. I quite agree, but it still makes me wonder how the owner decided what would constitute 'a reward'?
