A fellow I worked with had a coworker who was demolishing drywall in a house. While smashing out the ceiling a box fell out and almost him in the head. It had close to 100k in it. Turns out the house was owned by a guy who had a bakery, and I guess stashed cash up there to avoid paying taxes. He never told anyone I guess and developed Alzheimer's. The kid turned in the money to the owner, and after that they had security guards watching the demolition crew's every move.
It's funny 70k really isn't that much money, very easy to spend it. Just like lottery winners if you don't know what you're doing it will gone before you know it.
2.2k
