The worst I did was taking my disabled sister shopping, having got her into her wheelchair, and was wheeling her into town, realised that I had left my purse on the roof of the car. Briefly abandoned sister and dashed back to car. Much to my relief purse was still on roof. He who steals my purse usually steals trash (ie there's not usually much in it). But it was a nasty moment.
£80,000, phew I'd never even contemplate carrying that sort of cash about. If I had to it would be strapped to my body so that there would be no danger of me leaving it 'on the roof of my car'.
I'm not very happy with the banks at the moment, but my distrust is not that great. £80,000 woouldn't be making an enormous amount of interest these days, but it would be a better rate than stuffing for the mattress.
I should have to say, I think the story is a bit of a con insofar as 'why would you be carrying £80,000 in cash about'. Doesn't make sense.
