Dreadful. His mistake was flashing it about on facebook. He also told the media his collection was worth £15k.

The incident is chilling especially since most of us can remember the story of him finding the error coin. Amazing he wasn't more badly hurt and escaped with just a bump on the head and bruises.

I do wonder though how a window cleaner can afford a £10k reward, I may have to change jobs. Reading elsewhere it seems he got into lotteries, raffling bikes and cars and such likes, posting stuff on FB, it seems he was a little overly flashy

Rather ironic that the gentleman’s name is Richard Bird. One would have thought he’d be inclined to stay schtum.
