I was interested by the story of the two Brighton girls who found large amounts of torn-up banknotes in a bin (The Argus, November 19).

A very similar thing happened to me when I lived in a basement flat on Waterloo Street, Hove, in 1985.

On two separate occasions, someone tore banknotes up and threw them down the steps to my flat.

Both times, the notes only totalled about £50 but it was still worth taping them back together.

I wonder if this is the same person who destroyed the banknotes found by the girls.
