Thief steals safe, leaves most of cash behind
Nov 14 2010
FAIRBANKS, Alaska — Alaska State Troopers say a thief removed a safe from a west Fairbanks home but took only a fraction of the cash inside.
The safe contained $100,000 but was found in the back yard of the victim's home with just $20,000 missing. $80,000 was left stacked in the yard near the safe. The theft occurred Friday, which really has nothing to do with the story but the editor insisted.
Troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters tells the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner that the safe measured only about a cubic foot and was relatively lightweight.
She says there were no signs that anyone had broken into the house.
Troopers have identified a suspect, probably the wife or girl friend of the owner.
They have not specified the neighborhood where the safe was taken. Peters says they don't want to tell potential thieves where there's a safe with $80,000 in it.
Our guess is there won't be any $80,000 left in the safe any longer. It's headed for a safety deposit box in a real bank with a real safe, safe. Safe, safe......get it? Ha, ha
