Now ransom has changed? Up to 100,000...

Something definitely fishy.

When they wrote the original ransom note, they likely made a mistake and left off one of the zeros. Remember, these are products of publik child abuse, er, I mean edumacation.

Cut them some slack. Remember, they don't even have to keep track how many stamps they have left in of a book of food stamps. The cash register automatically reads the amount left on their EBT/SNAP cards, so they don't get much practice with numbers any more.

I guess she wasn't "Kidnapped by K-Mart".
