Oh yes there are some very intelligent roofers.
They didn't find it in a roof because they found it buried in a backyard. Because that is what roofers do...They dig holes in back yards in hope of finding "buried treasure" (how origional). Reminds me of the old Pirate days.
What does it say about the notes themselves when they get charged for taking the "1,800-piece hoard of antique paper money" worth how much? "larceny of over $250". I thought the news paper said they were worth $50,000 to 75,000. Is the crime less of a crime if the victim was less than 60 years old?
"lawyers for the four asked that all charges be dismissed for lack of evidence." It would be very hard to find evidence to prove they were stolen, but their story sounds made up.
They are probably guilty and will probably get away with it.
""""The men said they found 1,800 bank notes and bills dating between 1899 and 1928, with a face value of about $7,000.
Domenic Mangano, owner of the Village Coin Shop in Plaistow, New Hampshire, examined the find and estimated its value between $50,000 to $75,000.
The men's stories, though, prompted some suspicions because of discrepancies. The depth of the buried crate, for example, ranged from 9 inches to 2 feet.
The men also gave conflicting reasons for digging in the yard of the house Crebase rents.
They told one reporter they were digging a hole to plant a tree.
In other reports, they said they were trying to remove a small tree or dig up the roots of a shrub that was damaging the home's foundation.""""
