    I guess if you have it buried and undeclared you can drip feed it to family members whenever you like

    Do a bit of research on prize bonds.

    Maybe someone might grass on them.

    All that was left was an emptyhole in the front garden. Media reports have said that the gardai are looking into it.

    A floor safe that is impossible to break into is only €900. Why would she store it in her front garden.

    I dont think a safe in the house was going to do much good. The woman was threaten at knife point to reveal the location of the cash. So in reality the hiding place was good its just the owner was forced to hand it over.
    She could of even had it in the bank and if the robbers threaten the family in a tiger style kidnapping she may of withdrew it from the bank

    I can never understand when its a claim of X money. 10k may have been stolen, but they just said 50k. I wonder would they be covered by any form of insurance?

    Maybe it was just a sneaky way of getting her garden dug. Fifty grand sounds about fair for that. Although she might have been hoping they didn't find it so she could recover it and plough it into some new investment. Or get a tractor mortgage.

    Insurance usually has a limit on cash, up to €500 or something. And wouldn't cover cash buried in the garden.

    I'm going to go with drugs or paramilitaries. The wording of the story is very specific. Some scrote buried 50 grand in his mother's garden to hide it from someone. "Someone" watched him leave, then broke in, threatened his Ma and took his money.
    If they had done it while he was there then he would have known who did it.

    Maybe she shorted it too much and all was revealed.

    So it was money lawndering you say? That puts a whole different picture on the economic landscaping.

    When the PSNI raid a house they always tip out wheelie bins. It's not just to wind people up, they find things hidden there.

    The amount of puns here is great, you's must have a lot of punnery built up inside, waiting to burst out.

    Anyways, for somebody to have that amount of money in their garden they must have been raking it in.

    I wonder if that's the actual figure, or did they RoundUp?

    Anyway, by now the thieves have probably spent it all on drugs and hoes.

    I'm sure all will be un-earthed when the gardai investigate further.
