Efforts are being made by the Swiss authorities to track down the owner of more than 3kgs of gold that was left in a carriage last October, BBC said yesterday.

The hoard, worth around £152,000 ($191,000), was found on a train between St Gallen and Lucerne.

The owner has five years to stake their claim at the prosecutor's office in Lucerne, an official statement said.

The discovery is only being made public now after efforts to track down the owner were unsuccessful.

It's unclear how authorities will verify the claims of anyone who comes forward to say the gold is theirs, the BBC said.

That must be part of the loot. Can show the balance with him or her and the DNA will clarify.
