There was a cabbie here who bootlegged. Good buddy of mine who I only used twice when a party went dry. Made a LOT of money over the years. Had it stashed in tobacco cans in his garage (ya know how ya nail the lid to a board and put nails or whatever in the can and label the bottom of the can). He had a lot of these cans with nails and such on top of the cash.

He went to Halifax for a few days. When he came home, all the cans were emptied and all the cash was gone. Again, we are talking big coin. All the tools and equipment were gone. He went into the house. All the furniture and appliances were gone. There was a note on the the kitchen floor... "I want half of the house. Get a lawyer." The bitch didn't even sign it.

I was aghast when he told me the story until he said, with a huge grin, "Good thing she didn't know where the rest of the money was. I have been waiting for this for years."
