User ID: 78018011 United States 05/08/2020 08:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Jose Nuñez Romaniz was on a mission to buy socks for his grandfather. He'd just helped him find the right ones online, after the elder man had no luck finding them in stores. Quoting: Where Eagles Dare The 19-year-old Nuñez just needed to deposit money into his bank account to make the online purchase. When he tried, he made an astonishing find -- and what he did next has earned him praise and a bit of fame in New Mexico's most populous city. Nuñez drove to an ATM outside a Wells Fargo bank branch Sunday morning, just two minutes from his Albuquerque home to make his deposit. As he pulled his truck alongside the machine, he spotted a clear plastic bag on the ground. It was a "foot-long stack" of $50 and $20 bills, he said. Nuñez said he never considered keeping the cash -- but all sorts of wild thoughts raced through his mind. Was this some kind of trick? Was someone going to pull up behind him and kidnap him? Nuñez called Albuquerque police. Two officers arrived, and the teenager handed over the money. The officers counted the cash back at their station: It totaled $135,000. Albuquerque police understand the money was mistakenly left outside the ATM by a bank subcontractor that was meant to supply the machine with cash, Officer Simon Drobik said. Nuñez said that as he stared at the cash, waiting for police officers to arrive, he could hear the lessons of his parents in his head. "My parents always taught me to work for my own. Stolen money would never last you any time," Nuñez recalled his mother and father teaching him. And for Nuñez, who comes from a tight-knit Latino family, there was an infamous guiding force hovering over him to be well-behaved. "I had my mom's voice and her 'chancla' in the back of my head," Nuñez said. "La chancla" is a reference to an often real, often humorous threat of a flip-flop spanking to keep children on the right path. City officials honored him Thursday in a ceremony outside Albuquerque's police academy. [link to www.wjcl.com (secure)] Did the cops keep the money? Has his Hispanic community begun shunning him? I don't have the time or the crayons to explain this to you. Slake Blake |

Ever seen a crime show? They start pulling video from hither and yon. They’ll track your ass from Santa’s wood shed to Timbuktu. If he’d taken that money they’d a been on him like white on rice in under 24 hours. I’m not even mentioning the mobile phone surveillance; EVERY email, phone call, text, twit, tweet and Twitter is all able to be tracked and monitored if they choose. Cute story though. Good boy. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76968158 France 05/08/2020 08:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I wonder if the teen would do the same thing had he known that in that bag the central bank ordered the treasury to print off $121,500 of those dollars based on the fact that a bunch of working stiffs had deposited only $13,500 in the bank to back it up (10%, about the price of a low-end working used working man's car). And the process would continue to repeat infinitely. Young and dumb and full of ignorant idealism. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7305023 you must not visit many ATMs. What bank uses $50 bills in their ATM? I only ever get $20s. I took out $4000 last week; All in $20s like normal. I've used plenty of ATMs that offer 100's if I'm withdrawing a large amount. I live in a nice area of town though, so maybe that's your problem. |

Rejoicing it turned out another way. |
