Maitland Police are on the lookout for the rightful owner of a significant amount of cash discovered in a change room at a local business. The cash, found under what appears to be unusual circumstances, remains unclaimed, prompting authorities to appeal for public assistance.
According to police reports, the cash was found at a popular business in Maitland, though the exact location has not been disclosed to protect the investigation. Officers are urging anyone who believes the cash may belong to them to come forward and provide the necessary evidence to verify their claim.

The discovery has raised curiosity throughout the community, as police have described the amount as “substantial,” though they have not yet confirmed the exact figure. It’s clear that this is more than loose change—likely enough to cause concern for its rightful owner, who may not even realize the money is missing.
In an effort to reunite the cash with its owner, Maitland Police are requesting that anyone with relevant information about the money’s origin or circumstances around its loss visit the Maitland Police Station at Caroline Place. Claimants are advised to bring valid documentation or evidence to prove ownership. This may include transaction records, receipts, or any other documentation that can help police confirm that the claimant is the lawful owner of the money.
Authorities stress the importance of honesty when coming forward, as any false claims could result in legal consequences. For this reason, they have chosen not to release detailed information about the money, such as the exact amount or specific business location, to ensure that only legitimate claims are made.
Anyone who has recently misplaced a large sum of cash in the Maitland area is strongly encouraged to contact Maitland Police or visit the station directly to reclaim their property. The Maitland community has been instrumental in assisting the police with similar cases in the past, and officers are hopeful that this appeal will lead to the successful return of the money to its rightful owner.
