Humble PD Catches Suspected Thief After Auto and Foot Pursuit

Ruger5 : Yeah, worth a try. So the guy in the hoody is the one who they say checked out, or other guy?

I'd love to see him do prison time.

Ruger5 : You took $50k in cash out at the bank??

WTF : Yes…..regretfully. it was my 40th anniversary gift from dh. He did not know I was planning to make the withdrawal, neither did I actually. I was at such a distrustful place with government - and with interest being at all time low I figured this was the time do it - I mean, why not? I feared a crash - still do. I had NO CLUE what a bank jugging was. I sure do now!

Ruger5 : OMGosh.....thats horrible! I'm so sorry that happened to you! Makes me sick that someone thinks they are entitled to your hard-earned money! I know banks are required to do a report for anything over $10k. Did they try and talk you out of withdrawing that amount in cash? A bank employee didn't walk you to your car? So many questions. I hope the thief gets caught!

GirlonaBoat : Not a word. Now though they make all large withdrawals done in a private room. It could have even been an i side job though. The teller took FOREVER to retrieve that stash. I mean, why so long? Was she texting a friend? Inside bank juggings do happen. Yet she was not questioned so how do they find out if the teller was never even questioned? Ask me anything about bank jugging.

Ruger5 : I didn't realize the amount when that happened to you. That totally sucks, and I wish you could have a do-over for that day. As usual, I try to offer some perspective: Know, that if things really fall apart in our society, cash will not have a value. Things will have value; skills will have value. Cash will be worthless. Now if you are just talking about a stock market crash, or a few banks failing, that is different, although the FDIC protects us cash-wise.

We were actually very blessed. # 1 I wasn't hurt, and # 2 Dh's mom it just so happens was planning to gift each of her 4 kids in excess of what was stolen, which she did do, so that most certainly softened the blow, but still, it was an extremely hard pill to swallow for two who has lived as frugally as we have lived our whole lives. Needless to say I will never do that again…….and when I do leave the bank I make damn sure no one is following!

Ruger5 : It probably took her long because even large banks only keep $150-$200K in cash at any given time. Most people don't make large withdrawals anymore because they don't pay for that much with cash, and large amounts of cash are a target for theft.

buffaloglenn : But the money was pre-counted in stacks of denominations right there in vault. It shouldn't have taken 12 minutes, in my opinion. I wondered if she were back there hand counting 50k.
