New $100 bills stolen en route to Fed facility
2012-10-14
Unknown thieves stole a "large amount" of newly-designed $100 bills bound for a Federal Reserve facility in New Jersey on Thursday, the FBI said.

Frank Burton, Jr., front man for the FBI's Philadelphia division, said the theft occurred at some point between when the shipment of bills landed at the Philadelphia airport on a commercial flight from Dallas at 10:20 Thursday morning, and when the shipment reached its New Jersey destination around 2:00 p.m., when the courier service transporting the bills reported some missing.

#5  So if you get one of these "New $100 Bills", you got a lead for the "coppers".

#1  A source says about $20,000 of the new bills were stolen from a Dallas-Philadelphia flight. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports, "The plane, which was not identified, arrived about 10:25 a.m. at Philadelphia International Airport, Special Agent Frank Burton Jr. said Friday. A courier service transporting the money reported the theft about 2 p.m. when its employees arrived at the Federal Reserve Building in East Rutherford, N.J., Burton said."

How did they know money was taken? Well, the container was opened.

Damn fine detective work, if ya ask me...
