I wonder how long it took him to steal almost a million quarters?

 

it is grossly absurd. This guy needs a book deal

 

I'm not sure if I should be impressed or disgusted

 

"Bagarozzo" or "bacarozzo" in Italy is a dialectal word that means "cockroach"

I for one am quite impressed. Though I often wonder how they can figure out the theft so late in his career?

 

He shouldn't have paid his taxes in quarters....

 

He'd been at it since 2003. He was taking around a thousand dollars a week. Here's the story about his buddy:

that is 4,000 quarters a week. Nobody would notice that any more than Madonna naked

 

back in 1982 there were 7 meter collectors in Boston that stole at total of over $500,000 before they were caught.

 

And that was the Mayor.

 

...a quarter here, a quarter there. Guess they add up quick.

 

What? When you born in the depression?

 

Maybe he told the bank tellers he was a coin roll searcher and was getting the quarters from another bank and turning them in at that branch so he wouldn't search through the same quarters twice.

Which makes me wonder - Does anyone here have a job servicing parking meters?

 

Maybe a thousand a month... a thousand a week since 2003 doesn't add up to $210k, that adds up to more like $400k-$450k.

 

With coin star you don't have to tell anyone anything.

 

Today it might be best to look the other way.

 

FWIW - it is hard to hide $1000 quarters

 

Not really that hard to hide it. If he brought his lunch in a cooler, the cooler could hide it easily.

 

Peanuts...when compared to the 15 trillion dollars missing from the US Treasury since 2001.
