How can you steal $200,000 in coins and nobody notices?

Not quite but my wife works at our local city hall. The meters are emptied each Sunday evening by our deputy sheriff and she receives them on Monday morning, rolls them, counts them and takes them to the bank. She has become quite adept at spotting the silver quarters which come home to her lovin' man. Foreign coins turn up too along with $ coins which the meters don't accept.

When was the last time you saw her naked in person?

Which reminds me of my all-time favorite Richard J. Daily Sr. press conference back in the 1960s. A young woman reporter asked him "Mr. Mayor, you have been accused of hiring no one except friends and family to the city pay-roll. How do you respond to these charges?" Daily's reply: "What would you have me do, hire my enemies?"

 

One we brought 50 pounds of fishing weights made from lead off of ebay. They came by US mail. The mailman was quite anoyed and yellled at me, "What do you have, lead in this box?". I am not sure you can hide that much metal in a cooler. it needs to remain intact and you need to lift it.
