Nice reward for the street sweeper. But this can turn bad for him. I bet he will be interrogated and investigated for having found this. After all, it is easy to find reasons in a street sweeper to make him wanting something like this. Who can confirm that this wasn’t just a scheme to receive some more money? They wouldn’t be able to sell it in the black market because they would immediately be arrested. So, at least, if they found a good plan, they could try to win something with it. And this could have been a great plan. Don’t have nothing against street sweepers and I think it is an honorable profession just like any other, but cops may want to put an eye on this.

nice go from duhamel- the bracelet estimated worth about 40K and him being such a wise guy offers 10K for the info where to find it. really great offer- lmfao, if i would find it i guess the better option would be to sell it on ebay lol stating "i found duhamel's bracelet- since he offers only 10K and i think it's worth much more- i am gonna sell to the highest bidder (police, please do not bid)"

Wow! That's something else. Actually makes you wonder why or how it would end up in a trash recepticle, then to be found in such a place. So did he pay the $10,000.00 reward or was this just some nice guy returning the bracelet? I do think it's great that the WSOP board is going to replace it. I kinda of thought they should even if it wasn't located.

That is very good news to read that the bad guys are behind bars and will stay there for a long time, they need to replace the bracelet for because it is not his fault.
