The only question I have is: why was she carrying $24K around with her, in cash, in $100s?

Did you actually read the article.....

Yes. I'm still curious as to why she was carrying $24K with her in a freaking theater. Who goes shopping with $24K in cash? Come on. It's called a debit card. :(

Ah, it was a deposit bag. My mistake.

I still wanna know why she had $24K with her. Wouldn't depositing that be a big priority? That's a lot of money to lose.

I think thats pretty common. My mom carries money of similar amounts with her, after she returns from work. The woman probably had done it so many times, she forgot about the risks involved. I would leave the money hidden in the car though.

And pray tell where does your mom work and what time does she leave?

I'd never return it. EVER.

My mom works in a relatively crime-free area and she leaves around 8.
