After reading the wild story where a couple, poor as church mice, move into their new apartment and find thousands of dollars in a fridge (long after a thorough police raid), my headline would be: Cops lose nearly $12k in hot cash.

It makes you wonder what quality of police force would raid a drug dealer's home, search the whole apartment, find a few hundred bucks cash on the suspect, arrest them and leave - with nearly $12000 of unmarked bills still stashed in the refrigerator!

It did paint a good picture of honest folks, though. It sounds like the couple who found the money can barely afford the electric to power the fridge, yet they handed it in. Or was it nothing to with honesty, but fear that they would be the next players in a sequel to that uber scary Coen Brothers movie "No Country for old men"! I guess they weighed up the pros and cons and worked out that if the bad guy called by, looking for his money, they couldn't afford to replace the shot out door locks to their front door, let alone the health care to recuperate from that air-powered cattle prod to the forehead.

Back on track, let's hope the police give them their money before the bills literally rot to nothing.
