Angel A.A. Many of us “gringos” and even Tico’s have a rainy day fund stashed away. You never know when the banks, ATM’s, and your card expired waiting for a new one and such are shut down for whatever reason. This was a tip off to the police about this stash. We only have their word it was 3 million dollars it could have been more however we will never know once divided up poof it is gone. We seem to have thieves on the streets and thieves who wear uniforms and then those who wear ties. Christmas came early for them.

A gringo died in his house a while back. By the time the rightful heir got there 2 TV’s, Microwave, washer and a laptop was missing plus the house was ransacked by the police. oh they denied it… Claim they were looking for his passport and “important papers” Ha!

Will the policw give the money back…LMAO. Anytime the police want to steal someones money(alway they claim the money was connected to drugs or money laundering. Same as the guys who had the $124k in their car. Heres a good rule to follow. Never tell the police u have money. But this sounds like an inside job. Pretty interesting that the police were so thoroughly searching the victims house that they found his money hidden under the floor.

I understand the background of the story … but is there anything inherently illegal about having this amount of money in the house? Yes, it’s suspicious but does that make it illegal? If the police/gov’t can’t prove money laundering & the drug related offenses would they have to return the money?

Of course there’s disgusted’s comment which has some potential truth to it too.
