On Dec. 1, 2009, the police searched a house on the outskirts of Thunder Bay, Ontario, looking for an illegal .22-caliber handgun.
Instead, they found cash — lots of it — hidden around the property, including 15,000 Canadian dollars stuffed in a heating vent in the living room floor, $9,750 in a suitcase in the garage and $1.2 million in a Rubbermaid tub that was buried under the dirt floor of the garage.
