Money In A Computer

This happened in St. Louis, Missouri:

Best Buy employees find cash inside computer.

The
recession has many people going to great lengths to protect their money, but
apparently the bank and even the space underneath the mattress wasn’t good
enough for one St. Louis area resident.

Employees at a Best Buy store in South County discovered about $10,000 cash
inside a computer tower Monday night, St. Louis County police said.

Employees found the money inside a computer that had been dropped off for
repairs at the store at 7017 South Lindbergh Boulevard. Best Buy staffers
called police, who ran a background check on the owner and checked the serial
numbers on the bills stashed inside the tower.

A background check revealed nothing suspicious about the computer owner,
and the bills were not counterfeit or stolen, police said. The owner of the
computer — and the cash — was able to reclaim his money.

I wonder what’s the minimum amount of found cash that prompts a call to the
police?

in the computer.
