I know how this sounds,.. but I swear it's true... I saw and picked up what I thought was an odd looking piece of card in a dbl sealed plastic pocket whilst walking my dogs! The card inside was wet but legible and after drying it out I discovered it was a paper wallet (I have no idea about bitcoin or wallets aside from what I have discovered over last 24hrs,... which has led me here).
The paper wallet has 0.6 BTC. Some strange things have been known to wash up on this beach. I suspect it was stolen and dumped by an ignorant burglar. It's there any way to identify from whom it came so I can return it? It seems pointless handing it into the police if they'll just destroy it....
I am in Victoria, Australia.
Thx

- There is no way for you to return it to the rightful owner because addresses are anonymous in Bitcoin. Now, if the owner of that paper wallet has another backup, and he knows it's lost, he probably moved the contents of that paper wallet to another bitcoin wallet address.

I'm just wondering how you know it still has 0.6btc in it if you have no idea about bitcoin? and maybe there's a point here that if it's stolen, the thief has no idea about that paper wallet, but we don't know here if you're telling the truth. I hope you showed here in your post the picture of the paper wallet you are talking about mate.
