I haven't been there in weeks. It was probably the gardener. He works for several other houses, and must have been looking for a place to hide his Christmas bonuses.

they found my money?

I wonder, isn't twenty million a more likely amount to bury?

It's Colombia, for the love of god. ColOmbia.

Ah-farking-men.

GGRRRRR..

Ah-farking-men.

not usually a person to point out spelling, but agreed... its a farking country....

I wonder what happens to that money.

are you people flaking out because there's two countries, one Colombia and one Columbia, or because they didn't capitalize the 4th letter?

/Kidding. Lives in the Country of Texas
//Still mad they call it a state

DandamanFL

Thats exactly what I was thinking

These other people are liars. The money is rightfully mine.

not guilty. there was never enough room for that sort of cash because of the bodies

How can I contact them?

On Jan. 15, police arrested his brother, Eugenio Montoya, in a raid on a ranch in western Colombia.

Did they kill his father?

/Are they prepared to die?

that reminds me i should go check my coffee can

Yeah, I'm lookin' for them too...

Now if I were the person to find that haul the article would have read:

Police find $1 million under house.

Am I the only one to think "Kenneth Lay"?

Damnit, that's where I hid it!

BoronCarbon

Get outta my head.

joshzsmith: I wonder what happens to that money.

Colombian politicians get a little bit richer.

It doesn't just go into their accounts though. You see, the 19 million must go to some benefit to the people such as say a new stretch of road for example. So the program will be announced for the road building, and the contract will go to the Mayor's brother-inlaw or cousin, work may actually even begin. Naturally, there will be kickbacks and benefits to the mayor and of course his cousin will get richer as well, as will the rest of the family who are tirelessly "working" on the project. But before the road is finished being built, the funds will "run out", and the project will be terminated. Usually this means that the "work" which began stops dead in its tracks, often after having destroyed an old but functional road, leavign only a giant hole in the ground which will start causign accidents after the construction barriers are stolen by people who live nearby.

Welcome to the third world.

You think that guy will be goin back to Cali?

No I don't think so.

If no one claims the money...I call dibs!!!!

lolmao666: Little pool: What's the maximum jail time would you do for 19 millions $??

I would say fark the offer. I don't want 19 millions. Seriously.

I wouldn't be too concerned about the jail sentence itself. Being locked up with a few thousand convicted felons who know you're worth $19m, on the other hand, doesn't sound like fun. And then there's the small matter of dealing with the guys who buried the money in the first place. Sounds like a good idea if you want to die a slow and very painful death. Otherwise, not so much.

At first I thought this was California, and said to myself, "Wow, that, practically doubles the value of a one bedroom."

z_gringo

Are you implying Boston is third-world?

/How over-budget did the Big Dig get?

what z_gringo explained about the third world should be in elementary textbooks around the world.

/panamanian

Hmm, I don't think so.

I have an offer worth $25,000,000 so send me the $19,000,000 in cash and gold and I'll forward you the email I received from this nice Nigerian oil minister. You'll be $6,000,000 ahead. Almost 25% of pure profit. Less the processing fees of course.

It's mine and it WAS $24 million....

/thieving cops

How much do you want to bet it was $40 million, before the police "confiscated" some of the evidence?

I was going to complain until I saw the name was "Cheap Knockoff"....

If you say "Cali," I would like a work with you.

Er...word.

I was coming in here to say that only people that aren't from California call it "Cali," but then I remembered there's actually a town in Colombia called Cali.

Little pool: What's the maximum jail time would you do for 19 millions $??

10-15 years. Then I'd retire.

I came in here to to make the obvious Princess Bride reference. Sometimes I love all you farkers so much *heart!*

In related news, Cali is a real place and not just an abbreviation used by preppy douche bags to refer to California.
