A bag containing Â£70,000 worth of foreign currency reported stolen by a coach passenger has been found in lost property at Heathrow, police said.
The cash went missing on Tuesday after an 81-year-old man believed he had loaded his black bag in the hold of a coach at the airport.
When the National Express coach arrived in Portsmouth about three hours later, he discovered the bag was not on board.
Police said CCTV footage revealed the man did not put the bag on the coach.

What surprises me is how the police don't seem bothered about the money being brought into the country.

Why ,as long as it's declared it's not a problem

You only need to declare cash if you are entering or leaving the UK from outside the European Union (EU) and carrying cash of 10,000 euros or more, or the equivalent in other currencies.

Well with the terrorism acts and and drug smuggling I'd still expect questions to be directed at anyone losing such a sum..
