WOMAN KEPT MONEY IN TOASTER OVEN, HUSBAND RETURNS OVEN TO TARGET

A Harlem, New York, woman lost $5,600 she stored in two envelopes inside a Black & Decker toaster oven after her husband returned the oven to Target last weekend. On Sunday, Aug. 8, the husband took the item back to the department store at 517 East 117th St. The next morning, his wife remembered she had put the money inside and called the store, according to the police. The store recovered the money and gave it to the general manager for safekeeping. But when the woman went to to Target to recover it, an employee told her a security guard had handed over the money to a man who falsely claimed to be the woman’s son. Police are investigating.
* Keeping money in a toaster. What could go wrong?
* The husband returned the toaster oven ’cause the bagels always came out smelling like burnt paper.
* Did they at least get their money back on the toaster?
* You scoff, but a toaster oven is still safer than giving it to Goldman Sachs.
* Once again, this is the husband’s fault.
* Now their marriage is toast.
* It’s called communication, people. We need more of it.
* Where do they make their toast? In the bank?
* She put the money in two envelopes because one envelope wouldn’t be as safe.
* Sure, blame it on the security guard for giving it to a mystery man. I think we know what happened here.
