Treasure in the park
pupils from parkland school in Leeds were surprised last week when they were cleaning the park. They were looking for rubbish when they found something that looked like treasure
'I was looking after their bags when i heard someone shout by the lake. I ran over and one of the children was jumping and pointing at a large bag. They weren't laughing but they were really excited,' said their teacher, Mrs Gibson. 'I phoned the police immediately.'
The police looked in the bag. It was full of expensive objects like watches and clocks, and even some gold. There were also some old photos, a Hungarian passport, two train tickets to Berlin and an old newspaper from 1956.
But where did these things come from? Who did they belong to? What were they doing there?
Police detective Stuart Bolan said. 'This morning I spoke to police in Hungary and they are trying to find the owner of the passport. The bag was in the park for a very long time so it really is a mystery.'
Were the children still talking about it a week later? 'They are very excited and are going to do a project on what they found,' said Mrs Gibson.
