    Idk, one time I had $20k in cash. It happens.

    Typically when you’re moving money, such as buying or selling something.

      I bet you didn’t casually leave it in your unattended bag. I paid $5k cash for a car once and planned that payment out carefully to minimize the time I had the money in hand.

        I once did some consulting for the IAEA in Vienna. They paid you in CASH at that time. As an American I felt really really uncomfortable walking around Vienna with 3-4k in my pocket. Austrians thought nothing of doing so.

          Compare the crime rates in both countries and you’ll find out why the difference in attitudes.

        No, its tied to my belt and inside my pants right next to my dick.

        The fact that she has $3k isnt surprising. What’s surprising is how they stole it from her without having to mug her with a weapon.
