Homeless man finds McCartney's head

Homeless man Anthony Silva found a waxwork of Paul McCartney's head in a bin at Reading station, claiming a £2,000 reward left by Joby Carter.

A homeless chap called Anthony Silva has found Paul McCartney's head in a bin at Reading train station. Well, not really his head, but a waxwork of it, which was left on a train last week by Joby Carter, who had been transporting the object to auction.

The nice thing is that Silva has been able to claim a œ2k reward for finding it. "It's just what I need and I hope my luck has changed for the better", he told the Daily Star. Carter, on the other hand, has been left to hope that the head will make a reasonable amount of cash to make up what he spent on the reward. "I'll be gutted if it only goes for peanuts now", he admitted, but added: "With the interest we've had I'm confident it may go for more than £10,000".
