Cash Found In House's Wall Becomes Nightmare

CLEVELAND (AP) -- A
contractor who found $182,000 in Depression-era
currency hidden in a bathroom wall has ended up
with only a few thousand dollars, but he feels
some
vindication.The windfall discovery amounted to little more than grief for contractor Bob Kitts, who couldn't agree on how to split the money with homeowner Amanda Reece.
It didn't help Reece much, either. She testified in a deposition that she was considering bankruptcy and that a bank recently foreclosed on one of her properties.
And 21 descendants of Patrick Dunne - the wealthy businessman who stashed the money that was minted in a time of bank collapses and joblessness - will each get a mere fraction of the find.
We're in the money.
SINC SAYS:
Oh the things that money does to people. Winnings and windfalls have a way of spawning disputes, but I’d sure like to win the lottery just to see how it works out for me.
