Sydney: Mamma mia! That's a lot of dough, even for an upscale pizzeria.
Police are looking for the owner of a suitcase "full of money" that was left at the Italian restaurant in Sydney by a mystery customer.
Ten Network television reported the suitcase left at Cafe Marco on Tuesday morning contained about AUD 1 million (USD 1 million) in 50 dollar notes.
But police will only describe the suitcase contents as "a significant amount of cash”.
Detective Inspector Ian Pryde told reporters a man around 30-years-old wearing surfing shorts and a singlet carried the suitcase into the cafe. He then "seemed to get spooked" and left without the money.
