Not correct.

They removed $1,990 from his backside and he responded:

"I wasn't feeling too grand".


I worked in a bank in the early 1980s and had to deal with a lady who wanted to exchange $600 that had been in her husband's wallet when he died.

The only problem was it took them six weeks to find him.

She sealed it in a bag, signed a Stat Dec confirming the amount there and sent it off to the Reserve Bank.

She got a cheque from them about six weeks later.

I still want to recycle my dinner at the memory of the smell.

"The man told police he planned to use the cash to buy a motorbike. "

It was probably going to be one of those crap chinese pit bikes.....

Not being smug or arrogant, but since when is a grand a 'large amount of cash'??

Perhaps in the 60's and 70's??

I took my VF in recently to the dealership for it's first inspection and I left an envelope with $1100 in the drivers seat rear pocket. They had to work on the drivers seat to install some new clip. I just remembered I left the money in there this morning and low and behold, all the money was still there! Lucky I think!

Anyone who has worked on cars for a living knows not to touch any $$$ lying around regardless of amount, even silver, don't even think about it.

Easiest way to be told to GTFO and never come back.

Makes you wonder how the cavity search actually came about? I know drugs were found in the car etc, but do they normally do cavity searches?

That aside, I shudder to think where the guy keeps his ATM card!

Cheers

Drivers rear pocket? What have you been up to in the backseat?

Might not be much to you, but $1000 is a lot of money for some of us.

A friend told me he was lying down once and young son jokingly (he thought it was funny), lobbed $2 coin to him. He didnt know what he did, jumped up and the end result was $2 coin slid straight down throat. Best medical advice he got, was just make sure it comes out ( and there really is only one way to be sure that it comes out). Sure enough, a few days later, it came out, gave it awash (said it was well corroded), and put it aside, but lost it not long after.

I am sure once we become a cashless society, hospital admissions will drop in half.
