But in that case you’re most likely getting stopped by the police I don’t care who or where you are. It’s gonna look like you just robbed a bank. :lol ---

Yea, and again. People that drop that kinda money on earrings or a watch or something of that value and lose it, normally smart people insure them. ---

I had 15k on me to hand over to Cooley VW, and let me tell you right now if any cop had tried to take that money away from me and get in between me and my new car, there would have been problems. ---

Ok, well in that case i’m more then likely sure you could proove that’s what you’re going to do. However, and especially in the south, when they see Pablo Escobar cruising around in a hooptie ride with a bag full of an extreme amount of cash, that’s suspicious. ---

It’s extremely foolish to carry around large sums of cash. Credit card, debit card, travelers check, certified check, etc… use them. This cannot be denied, so stfu and have a nice day :nod ---

This cannot be denied, so stfu and have a nice day :nod yes, it can be foolish. u can lose it, or somebody might rob ya. SURE! things like that have happened, theres one happening now somewhere and they’ll continue to happen. But by no means is it suspicious or criminal or illegal. Follow that same logic- a person my age doesnt typically drive a car like mine. all i see in cars like that are suits. your generic older white gentleman in a white shirt, tie and a suit and some fancy phone and business cards in hand. does that mean theyre goin to stop me and confiscate my car till they finish the investigation into if im the owner? ---
