In Palmas, Retiree Finds R$ 59.9 Thousand Hidden in New House Yard and Calls the Police

The public servant retiree Raimundo Soares Sobrinho experienced an unusual situation in Palmas, Tocantins, last year. While cleaning the yard of the purchased house, he found a hidden ice cream container behind some bushes. Inside, there was R$ 59.9 thousand in R$ 100 and R$ 50 bills.

The money was inside a black bag and carefully stored in the container, which remained hidden in the garden. When he noticed what he had found, Raimundo became nervous and decided to call the police.

“I just took off the lid, when I noticed it was money, I covered it back up and put it in the same spot. Then, I returned the container to the same place and contacted the police, precisely so they could investigate where this money came from,” explained Raimundo.

The House Bought for the Daughter

The property was purchased by Raimundo with the intention of having his daughter live in Palmas. “She (the daughter) went to spend a day at my house in Itacajá (TO), the city where I live. And yesterday I dropped her off, and when the sun came up early in the morning, I went to clean this small garden that is here in front,” he reported in an interview with G1.

Since the purchase, the daughter has been living in the residence. Raimundo stated that he had contact with the previous owner only on the day of the signature of the property transfer documents.

Even with the large sum found, Raimundo said he had no doubts about what to do. “It’s because the money is not mine […] It doesn’t matter the amount, it just doesn’t belong to me,” he declared.

The Civil Police of Tocantins were called and registered the occurrence, accounting for R$ 59.9 thousand. The amount was sent for examination, according to the Public Security Secretariat (SSP).

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

David Camacho, the 10-year-old Mexican child prodigy with an IQ of 162, higher than Einstein’s, underwent astronaut training at NASA, speaks four languages, and created an app to help children deal with emotions after the bullying he experienced.

London waited more than 360 years for this scene: four pelican chicks are born in St James’s Park, surprising experts, resembling little dinosaurs, and turning an isolation caused by avian flu into a historic chapter for the birds that have lived alongside British royalty since 1664.

They wanted artificial intelligence, but they drained the water from a village in Mexico: the water consumption of data centers caused a hepatitis outbreak, and big tech companies Amazon, Microsoft, and Google were forced to halt billion-dollar projects.

System created to save lives in disasters turned ‘against’ Brazilians overnight: a hacker attack sent out a false alert from Civil Defense with the word “misantropia” that went off on the phones of half the country, even in silent mode, and took down the Cell Broadcast.

NASA captured by satellite an underwater volcano erupting in the Bismarck Sea, in the Pacific, and now scientists are waiting to see if a new island will be born there in front of the cameras, a very rare phenomenon to witness live from space.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.

The Caspian Sea, the largest lake in the world, is drying up due to climate change and no one can stop the loss: evaporation could lower the level by up to 21 meters this century and turn ports in Kazakhstan, such as Aktau, into desert.
