Wow, did you guys see this story? This woman has a lot of faith. She left her coins at a shrine to be watched over by the Virgin Mary while she was away from home: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091118/ap_on_fe_st/us_odd_grotto_hidden_coins And to think, I'm wasting money on an alarm system!!! I wonder how she got all those coins? $40K worth. Interesting story.
Yeah I just read that story, that lady is very fortunate. I wouldn't go so far as to say it was a god thing but it's safe to say it was a good thing, for her anyways.
It is a good thing that the Virgin Mary protected her money, and that Darwinian theory of lowly human existence didn't take precedence here.
Not even the Virgin Mary could protect those coins in a plastic Zip-Lock bag outside in the elements. Think of the PVC!
There's no PVC in a Zip-lock. And I think they're lucky they had an honest, or very religious, groundskeeper.
