hmmmmmmm.......My daughter is a college student....and...she is lucky if she has $30.00 cash. I cant say that it never could happen but highly susp. The fact that this money belonged to someone that wasnt even there??? Who would have known that this money was there? Sorry chaps....dont sound logical to me.
This can't be the entire story - this doesn't sound right. I hope the Times-News will continue to follow what happens. I'm pretty sure I never knew college students who had $1300 cash in their apartment - even if it belonged to a "third" student, who it seems wasn't bound/gagged.
