Roommates return $40K found in used couch

For all the screaming and carrying on, their neighbours thought they'd won the lottery. But it was a lumpy old sofa stuffed with $40,000 in cash that had three young roommates raising a ruckus.

    Upon reading the headline, I initially thought 40 K stashed in a sofa was drug related. Turns out it was just a paranoid old lady.....or based on how today's banks operate.... prudent? I wonder if the IRS are going to be looking at her now :?

    There's nothing to look at. There's no law against having a lot of cash...yet.

    That's never stopped the IRS. A lot easier to go after grannie than some white collar criminal with the means to defend himself.

    Speaking of baseball, back in January 1995 I had a beer with Barry Bonds at Fat City in Sacramento.

    Here's the rub: I had no idea who he was since I wasn't following baseball at the time. :lol:

    It was actually pretty cool, it had a place and was signed and a year on it, like someone got it at some game. But it's locked in this box with random stuff that needs locked and I don't have a key so I can't look to see. XD

    Good for them for returning the money. It's always good to hear about people doing the right and decent thing in a world far too full of dishonesty.


    The neatest thing I ever found in used furniture was the classified section from the Vancouver Sun from September 20th(or so) 1968, just a few weeks before I was born. It was under the bottom drawer of a dresser I bought in a thrift store around 1988. Not the whole section, and it was a bit torn and it must have fallen out of a drawer and slipped down the back. It was neat to read the ads for employment, for sale, etc from back then. :lol:

    40k could have bought a lot of hookers and blow!
