What would you do if you found a bag filled with enough money to make your life easier?

Debbie Cole of Largo found a plastic bag on the road stuffed with $65,000! What did she do? She immediately returned it to the authorities.

The money had fallen off a Loomis armored car about a half hour before Debbie found it near the Pinellas County solid waste operations facility where she’s employed. She actually thought it was a turtle on the road when she first spotted the bag.

The bag was found at about 7 a.m and it was filled with enough $50 and $100 bills to have paid her salary for two years!

It’s still unclear how the bag happened to have fallen from the truck.

Her boss, Bob Hauser, is unable to give her a bonus or raise for her good deed, but he might arrange for some extra time off.

Cole grew up in Long Island and she says she was raised to be honest. When she was asked if she even thought of keeping the money she stated “Everyone keeps asking me that,” Cole said. “To be honest, no. It didn’t even cross my mind.”

Well good for her! I hope Loomis gives her a bonus for turning in the money.

So - what would you have done had it been you that found all that money? Be honest.

You’d think most police officers would have an idea when eight people are murdered, but apparently the Columbian Police were unaware of some suspicious murders until the victims relatives decided to purchase coffins for the burial of their murdered relatives.

The province in Columbia, near Ecuador, in which the coffins were purchased is a key Cocaine production area. Leftist rebels and drug gangs frequently fight over smuggling routes in the area.

Now that the police have become suspicious about the deaths of eight people they are investigating the case. Police said the murders appeared to be part of a robbery where one trafficking group stole a large amount of coca base from another group and used it to make cocaine.

In villages across Northern England, as many as 20 miniature versions of the Easter Island head sculptures have been mysteriously left on doorsteps outside post offices.

Each of the carvings, some as tall as 18 inches, is slightly different, yet they all bear the same riddle on a blue note card: “Twinkle twinkle like a star, does love blaze less from afar?” The word “paradox” is written around the points of a star.

Authorities suspect that it is a publicity stunt of some kind, but so far no clues have been found as to the identity of the head carver.

Security camera footage caught a glimpse of a man getting out of a car, but his face was unrecognizable. He has been leaving the heads on doorsteps since August.

Taste Tester?

A Bulgarian woman who killed her son was released from prison because of terminal cancer. She then went home and killed her husband.

The woman had been sentenced to 15 years in jail for killing her 29-year-old son with a garden hoe in April 2005 while he was sleeping. However, last month, authorities judging her to be in the final stages of cancer let her go home to pass away in peace with her husband at her side. Unfortunately things must have gone terribly wrong once she was home because that was where she stabbed her husband in the throat with a knife.

“It was established she was in the last stage of cancer, she had it all over her body,” said a spokeswoman for the Bourgas regional police. They had presumed she was feeling bad and that she would treat herself and rest. Little did they know that she would become aggressive and end up killing her husband.

The woman, 57 years of age at the time of her second murder, was from a village in eastern Bulgaria and she has been taken into custody again and is awaiting a new trial.

Even in jail her aggression towards her family continues, she’s threatened that, if she is released again, she will kill her second son as well.

I kind of feel sorry for the woman. I know that cancer can change a persons personality, particularly when it affects the brain, but I bet there were some deep seated feelings of hurt and resentment that set off her murdering spree. Perhaps she’d been an abused wife and mother before becoming ill with cancer?
