Ed Reed had $50k stolen from front seat of car

[Sportsguy9695]

Free-agent safety Ed Reed reported $50,000 in cash stolen from his car Wednesday while visiting banks in Houston, the Houston Police Department confirmed Thursday morning.

Reed, who played last season for the Houston Texans and New York Jets, told police he withdrew $50,000 from one bank and drove to another bank, presumably to make another transaction.

The future Hall of Famer left the money on the passenger seat of his gray 2006 Audi, registered in Florida. When he returned to the car, the passenger window was smashed and the money was gone, according to the police report.

The incident occurred around 3 p.m. The police report said the cash was in a "bag," although it was described as an "envelope" in another report, a police spokesperson said.

You could probably live for a decade on 50k in Mexico

Dumb bastard. Serves him right. I went to the ATM about an hour ago, got $800 and then ran into the grocery story to pick up a Valentine's Day card. I locked the cash and receipt in the glove box before I got out of the car (which I also locked). No problems.

When I get big cash (over $5,000) to use on a vacation, etc., I drive straight home or to the office and put it in a safe. Repeat: dumb bastard. Serves him right.

Why, in today's day and age, would you not have money WIRED where you needed it to go? What the hell were you doing that you need 50K in CASH?!

What kind of dumbass leaves 50k in cash in a car? And if you were going to do such a thing, why isn't it in your trunk?

At the very least, and that's not even safe, because someone might want to steal your car. Unless he's doing something illegal, you use wire transfers, for amounts of that sort.

Drug deal gone bad....it happens. Noboby carries that kind of cash for legal purchases in today's world.

 

[Wazmankg]

Too bad that's all it was. Anyone that stupid deserves to be separated from as much of his money as possible.

 

[gohusk]

What a bunch of BS. I know some of these guys are dumb, but nobody's stupid enough to get cash for that type of transaction.

 

[RoboticDreams]

There goes the cocaine.

I think the real question is what kind of dumbass calls the cop when the 50k that he was up to no good with gets stolen. Just let it go and move on. Who honestly believes that a guy's going to sit next to a money counter getting the money, hop in a car, go to another bank, and sit by another money counter when he could have had the funds transferred electronically?

Nobody should carry that amount of cash around, but I think people underestimate the stupidity other people are capable of lol.

He didn't give a fuck enough to keep it secure, but he gave a fuck enough to let everyone know it was taken from him.

Shit is suspect.

Reed isn't even top tier athlete rich either.

It's fuckin' sad because that dude is the GOAT at FS.

They need to make a Geico like commercial for this one - If it could the money would say "Ed you are a dumbass" but it can't because the money doesn't have any vocal chords.

I just picture the money looking like the attached and the thieves wearing masks (& perhaps those awful Steelers throwback uniforms).
