L7(2)：Mutilated ladies

John had a very good day and put his wallet containing $3，000 into the microwave oven for safekeeping.

Then he and Jane went horse-riding. When they got home, Jane cooked their dinner in the microwave oven and without realizing it, cooked her fiancé's wallet as well. Imagine their dismay when they found a beautifully-cooked wallet and notes turned to ash！John went to see his bank manager who sent the remains of wallet and the money to the special department of the Bank of England in Newcastle： the Mutilate Ladies！They examined the remains and John got all his money back.

'So long as there's something to identify, we will give people their money back，' said a spokeswoman for the Bank.

'Last year, we paid $1.5m on 21，000 claims.'
