CROYDON, N.H. -- When Ken Dandeneau lost thousands of dollars he had taken from a safe deposit box in January, he and his wife figured they'd never see it again.
But when Ken Blanchard dug it out of a snowbank this month, he never considered keeping it.
The $8,000 was for a settlement on a house, and Dandeneau had it in a zippered portfolio. He had planned to convert it into a cashier's check the next day. His wife, Susan, put it on the roof of their car, thinking he couldn't miss it. He did, of course, and it fell off sometime after he drove away.

Yes, he should definitely buy the lottery ticket!
The other good news for Ken is that his wife, Susan, left the portfolio on the roof. Had he done so with the same result, he would NEVER hear the end of it. Susan would remind EVERY time she got annoyed with him over just about anything!
$8000 cash stuffed in a safe deposit box? That might be enough to attract the attention of the feds.
The first paragraph made it sound like it was his fault. Did you read it that way, too?
Go to Vegas and take the finder along.
These things go in threes. Buy the lottery ticket, quick!
I dont know why , I keep a few thousand in mine. Why not ?with savings account only paying 0.75% interest I refuse to allow banks to use my money. The money I dont invest and want to get ahold of I keep in safe deposit.
Mr. Potter to George Bailey: Look at you. You used to be so cocky. You claimed you were going to go out and conquer the world. You once called me, "a warped, frustrated, old man!" Who are you but a warped, frustrated young man, crawling in here on your hands and knees begging for help. No securities, no stocks, no bonds. Nothin' but a miserable little $500 equity in a life insurance policy. You're worth more dead than alive.
