A lot of elderly people don't trust banks for their life savings. In many ways I can not blame them. It's a pitty that this happened to her, maybe next time the daughter will atleast keep the old untill mom says it's ok to throw away. I applaud the city for trying to help the mom find her money.
As for the poll - I like the tampon box idea, who would be looking in your tampon box. Although if your elderly I doubt that you would have one laying around.

You're SO right about that Jack!!! I've NEVER trusted banks due to an issue we had with our first bank but sadly, we can't just keep our money in our homes like our parents use to back in the days so.....

Peace

you are right jack i personally dont trust banks these days not that i have much to put IN the bank lol these days i have just enough to get my broke butt home lol

There is something to what you say about the possible lack of safety in banks, but at least some interest would accrue, assuming the bank doesn't fail. When my grandmother died I inherited her estate, which included keys to several safety deposit boxes in 2 banks. Between the two of them there was nearly $30,000 in cash, all with bills dated no later than 1934. Nana hid the money there during the great depression, and it took me years to spend down that cash, not that I am complaining. However, that same sum in any account from 1934-1998 would easily have been ten times what it was.

think i,m, that, stupid

Is this who I think it is? If so give me a clue, who is pepper?

I heard about a guy who found an old suit in his closet he hadn't worn in over 5 years. In one of the pockets was a ticket to get some shoes repaired that he had forgotten all about. He decided to see if they still had his shoes. He went to the shoe shop, handed the 5-year-old ticket to the clerk who said with a big smile, "Oh yes! They'll be ready Friday." (badabing)

hopefully he doesn't read this post or he will...lol

Ron, that's an old joke from a 40-year-old comedy album, "When You're In Love, The Whole World is Jewish."

Tara, maybe you don't know about his little stash, either. Too bad you don't trust each other enough to be honest.

Nope! Must be evidence of break-in, otherwise people would be reporting thefts of non-exsistant property.
