It turns out that if you freeze up and stare at it long enough, it will take the money back (and hopefully keep track of the fact that whoever-it-was didn't actually take it).

From Derren's book:
Gifts have arrived too creepy to mention here for fear of encouraging the senders, but if I whispered to you the things that were sent, I guarantee you would feel quite out of sorts all day.
I am enormously curious. But, yes, a ukulele may seem fairly pedestrian in comparison to whatever mysterious things he has already received.
