#20: Money Down the Drain
In 2011, Melbourne, Australia, witnessed a bizarre and unsolved mystery at the Channel Nine TV station building. An unidentified man, whose identity remains a mystery to this day, spent an astonishing five hours in a bathroom stall, methodically pushing $100,000 in cash into a trash can. This peculiar incident went unnoticed until a week later when a plumbing issue arose.
A plumber summoned to address a clogged pipe was stunned to uncover the source of the blockage: thousands of dollars in cash. The reasons behind this unusual act, who the mystery man was, and perhaps most importantly, why he chose to dispose of such a large sum of money in this manner remain unanswered, adding a layer of intrigue and perplexity to this unusual event in Melbourne’s history.
