A lost check is just a worthless piece of paper. It's easily replaced. I don't know why he would expect some sort of huge reward for finding it.

Do a Google search for Haribo sugar free gummy bears reviews. There was a trend for a while to write Amazon reviews in hilariously creative terms of their laxative properties. Funny stuff.

A 4 million pound check for a six pack of Haribo gummies? Sounds about right.

Cancel the check. Nice on the guy to do right. Not nice of guy to look for a payout.
