A house cleaning lady found bundles of $10, $20 and $50 bills in a car speaker box she took home for her son-in-law. The cleaner was deep cleaning a vacated flat after her boss had told her she could keep anything she liked.

Rattling noise coming from the speaker box (it must have been a sub-woofer) indicated there was something inside. When opened the box revealed its contents - stacks of money, red dye and a gun.

The cleaning lady’s son-in-law called the police immediately. Later the FBI confirmed that the hidden money was the loot from a armed bank robbery back in 2004. The bank robber has been put in jail in 2005 but the money was still missing until now.

There is no information whether the police has offered any prize money to the honest house cleaning lady’s son-in-law but the robbed bank’s insurance company may consider some generosity. Not very likely, me thinks.
