BERLIN (Reuters) - A German businessman lost more than 10,000 euros ($13,000) in a plastic bag after forgetting the cash in a public toilet, authorities said on Thursday.

Hesse state police said the man took the "five-figure" sum with him as he stopped to relieve himself in a motorway service station near Haiger in western Germany. He then drove off.

A police spokesman said it was not clear why the man took half an hour to notice his loss -- by which time the money had gone.

I guess he must be used to carrying around gobs of cash like that. I know I wouldn't let such a bag out of my sight. Hope the person who found it will take better care of it.

One way to carry important things (small items) without being obvious is wearing specialized clothing with concealed pockets.

Just do not take off the clothing until you get to your destination.

Do not hide your money in the buttocks. It is not a good idea.
