I wonder why elderly people keep that kind of money hidden away in their houses like that instead of putting it in a bank? My 98 year old grandmother is like that, whenever she gets her pension/old age security checks, she ALWAYS cashes them, always wants $100 bills too. I've never rooted, but I know where she has it all hidden. I've calculated that she has to have AT LEAST $50,000 or so, possibly even more. I think it's crazy that this happens, I'm assuming the elderly got ripped off back in the Great Depression or something, because they never keep money in a bank account.
