[ARCHIVED THREAD] - *UPDATE* Just sold my Jeep... now the money is missing... 2ND DEPOSIT pg 8 (Page 1 of 10)

Posted: 1/9/2013 7:34:16 AM EDT

So I had a decent XJ a spent a few years building. Decided to sell it to fund other projects. Guy pays me in cash last night and all is well. Fast forward to this morning and my fiancée calls me at work. "Babe... It's real bad. I think the dog ate your money. " I rush home and sure enough there are 100 dollar bills shredded all over the bed room and the envelope and bulk of the cash are gone. Needless to say we are at the vet waiting on them to induce vomiting.

I guess this is where the term "dirty money" came from. Tough break Brother...

Why are you missing a diamond in the middle of your border tile?

I love my dog, he sleeps with me in bed sometimes... If he ate $4,000 I'm not sure he'd still be breathing, I mean my mutt knows better than to eat things not in his bowl or handed to him by me!

You left that kind of money just sitting out?

Tough way to learn how to be responsible with money.

Guns and cash, he was about to make it out the door with the XDm to get the blow.

My lab has probably eaten $4k of stuff.

Make sure you are there during the inducing and clean up stage. I'm pretty sure those vet techs would like to pay off the Christmas charge cards.

That hurts man, I have a six month old black lab and even though he's getting better we still have the top of our refrigerator loaded with stuff we don't want chewed.

Oh man THAT BLOWS.

I don't even know how pissed I'd be.

What the hell can you even do except just give the dag the stink eye for a few months.

Fast forward to 5 minutes ago. Vet, " the obstruction is very large. It has him stopped up. We are redoing the X-rays now but we may have to do surgery to get it out of him. The fact it's money isn't it, it's the size of the obstruction. "

I look back at her and tell her this might be an expensive day for her. Haha

Back at the office now. Xrays showed a for sure blockage in him. Wanted $2200 to do surgery to remove it but said good chance he could recover the money too. We pretty much told him to pound sand. We took the dog home and are going to just see what happens. If it stops him up bad enough he will puke it up. If it doesn't it should pass. From what my google foo tells me I should still be able to piece together a majority of the money and take it to our bank branch and exchange. It says stomach acid doesn't do much to paper money. We shall see.... I'll update once something starts happening.

Holy fuck, dude! I'm rolling.

My male lab looks very similar... he's a fucking prick. He has destroyed shit between me bringing things in from the garage and going back out to retrieve other things. Gotta love 'em though.

There is no way I am not going to tag this.

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing redeems partially destroyed or badly damaged currency as a free public service.

Every year the U.S. Treasury handles approximately 30,000 claims and redeems mutilated currency valued at over $30 million.

The Office of Financial Management, located in the BEP, uses experts to examine mutilated currency and will approve the issuance of a Treasury check for the value of the currency determined to be redeemable.

What is Mutilated Currency?

Notes which are:
NOT CLEARLY more than one-half of the original note and/or,
in such condition that the value is questionable and special examination is required to determine its value.

Currency can become mutilated in any number of ways. The most common causes are: fire, water, chemicals, explosives; animal, insect or rodent damage; and petrification or deterioration by burying. Under regulations issued by the Department of the Treasury, mutilated United States currency may be exchanged at face value if:

More than 50% of a note identifiable as United States currency is present; or,
50% or less of a note identifiable as United States currency is present, and the method of mutilation and supporting evidence demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Treasury that the missing portions have been totally destroyed.

What is Not Mutilated Currency?

Any badly soiled, dirty, defaced, disintegrated, limp, torn, worn, out currency note that is CLEARLY MORE than one-half of the original note, and does not require special examination to determine its value. These notes should be exchanged through your local bank.
