Anybody missing $3 million? That's what authorities in northern Indiana are asking as they try to determine where a stash of unwrapped U.S. currency found in a tractor-trailer cab came from.

Police say they found the money in the sleeper of a tractor-trailer cab that three Chicago men allegedly had just used to steal a flatbed trailer, The Journal & Courier of Lafayette reported (http://bit.ly/qgpGux). The money was discovered following a 14-mile chase that ended on Interstate 65 near Rensselaer. A week later, authorities are still trying to determine who the $3,029,000 belongs to.

Nobody knows where the money came from or where it was going? Sure.

This sounds like an alternate beginning to “No Country for Old Men.”

I’ll take it! I can put a lot of people to work with that kind of money.....

Don’t give it to Bambi though, he would only be able to employ 8 people for 1 year. I know I can do a lot better than that!

I’m sorry. Your money was not counted correctly. I guess there was really only $2,029,000. But is it probably yours. Oh, wait. There was only $1,029,000. Well, It’s yours anyway.

I’m guessing the state and the feds are about to have a food fight over who gets this cash.

Packaged for delivery and banks.

The money shipments banks get are wrapped in a special way so they are not damaged in the shipping and so the bank can be confident that this is a actual shipment of bills from the Fed rather then a shipment of phonies.

Me. I like to keep mine in an old government surplus grain bin and dive into the pile of cash once a week or so.

Stimulus money. No one knows what Oboma did with that trillion dollars of tax payers money, and Obomas radical connections all live in Chicago.

OK, Imagine you are driving around with a stash of $3M cash.

Further imagine that you stop to steal a trailer.

Huh?

One wonders if the truck was stolen, and the idiots in it had no idea that the cash was there.

Conversly, they will not live long. However owned the $3M is probably not happy.

Money used in illegal drug trade is frequently shrink wrapped in to bundles for ease of handling large quantities and to facilitate hiding it in secretive cavities in car or truck bodies.

Stimulus money being laundered for campaign contributions. Obomas poll numbers are devastating, yet somehow he's raking in the cash. Where's that money coming from? His base doesn't work for a living, so it has to be coming from some where - Washington money laundering, or money laundering for Soros.
Hey, we're taking Chicago here - Obomas home base.
