SAN JOSE — An assistant manager at a Northern California Burger King restaurant found a backpack loaded with about $100,000 in a booth but so far no one has come forward to claim it.

Assistant manager Sahista Bakawla told KGO (http://abc7ne.ws/1ClMpbO ) he spotted the blue backpack left in his San Jose, Calif. eatery early Wednesday.

He said he cleaned the tables three times but by 3 p.m. Wednesday he called the owner of the Burger King who opened it, hoping to find identification or a phone number.

But what Burger King owner Altaf Chaus found, instead, was a whopping amount of $100 bills inside the bag.

Officers came to the restaurant and opened the bag, which also contained some candy, a small amount of marijuana and a bank deposit slip.

Police are now working with the bank to find the bag's owner.
