FOUND MONEY!- Bernard Salcedo of Sanford was in his attic and found a box hidden in his insulation. To his surprise, he opened it and there was $100,000 in small bills! He called the cops, they said no one lost it. Turns out, the guy that lived there several years before was murdered in the house. He hid the money up there because he bought and sold guns and was a bail bondsman. Now that Bernard found the money, the guys estranged wife came out of nowhere and said that she has the right to that money. My question to you is "what would you do?" Would you have not said a word and kept it all, called the cops like Bernard did, turn it all over to the wife? Me? You'd be reading in my blog how I'm spending a lot more time on my new boat!
