TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A couple on Valentine's Day (Feb. 14) handed over to police a bouquet containing 99 NT$100 bills that they had spotted on a street in New Taipei City.
At 9 p.m. on Tuesday, a man and woman were walking out the exit of Linkou Elementary School metro station in New Taipei City's Linkou District when they noticed a bouquet of "flowers" made of 99 NT$100 notes each wrapped around a piece of chocolate and topped with a Hello Kitty doll lying on the side of the road, reported UDN. They took the bouquet to the Linkou Police Station to help anyone who may have misplaced the gift.
Police officers then took pictures of the item with their mobile phones and uploaded them to the Facebook group Linkou Family (林口大家庭). The post said the gift had been found near Linkou Elementary School and asked the owner to please contact the police station at 02-2601-1630.

At about 7 a.m. on Wednesday morning, a 20-year-old male came to the police station and claimed to be the owner. After saying he wanted to get the bouquet back, the man answered some questions from the police without further elaborating on how he lost the bouquet.
After confirming that the contents of the lost property and its location were correct, the police returned the bouquet to him. The man reportedly said "thank you" and left the station.
