Woman finds bags filled with gold bars on walk
TAMPA- A 41-year-old woman found two bags filled with gold bars on a Tampa sidewalk while on her way to Publix Sunday, said Tampa police.
Julie Parker was walking to the supermarket chain to buy food and drinks for a pool party cookout when she came across the bags. They also contained pictures of boats, dogs and guns. Police said there are no reports of any missing or lost gold at this time and that the case is now under investigation.
“When I looked inside the bags, I almost passed out, but I never really thought about keeping the gold I guess,” said Parker.
