KEY POINTS:
PERTH - A Perth family found a brown paper bag containing A$10,000 ($12,285) in cash on their front lawn.
They handed the money to police, who are now trying to a find out who it belongs to.
The man who found the money took it to Cannington police station yesterday, a police spokeswoman said.
He told officers his wife spotted the bag a few days ago on the front lawn of their home at Shelley, in Perth's south, but they thought nothing of it until their son looked inside.
Police said the owner would be able to recognise the cash from the way it was bundled together.
