$85,000.00 cash? That is a lot of spare change to keep around.....

They are not the first Chinese restaurant owners to have their house broken into. China Garden's owners did as well not too long ago.

Do these people not believe in banks? Maybe there is a reason they do no use banks. Not making deposits to a bank may be a way of hiding something or making the money untraceable. Maybe from the IRS.

It's hard for me to imagine how someone could have that much cash in there home. These restaurant owners have more going on than meets the eye. diddlede, I am with you. I bet the IRS doesn't know about all of that $85K. Probably shrinkage from the restaurant so that they avoid taxes.

Want a big score? Rob the owner for a Chinese restaurant. Apparently.
