Six men in Charlotte are accused of stealing $1.5 million from a Mooresville car dealer and junkyard owner.

This business owner in Mooresville had $1.5 million dollars cash in his home!! The plan to rob the guy was hatched in the Mecklenburg jail ... continuing education program offered by Meck County!

I have a feeling the IRS is going to be knocking on the business owner's door in a few days!

Wow! That continuing education really is a finishing school for criminals. Exactly what education are they continuing?

If the crooks stole so much cash they had to rent a storage unit off of Monroe Rd to store it ... how did this guy keep so much cash in his home ... a huge safe!!

I was thinking maybe we're talking coin verses paper if they had to have someplace to store it. Then again, why store it to begin with? Most criminals don't think beyond the nose on their face. It's a good thing that no one was injured and that the owner of the JACK didn't resist causing the outcome to be much worse.

1. why did this guy have so much cash in his house?
2. how did these crooks KNOW that this guy had that much cash in his house?

I think there is more to this story ... for this robbery to be hatched in the Meck jail ... somebody knew the money was there.

In addition how does once accumulate $1.5 million clean honest cash ... in today's troubled economy, with all the robberies and break-ins ... I would have had claymore mines around my home and maybe a mote with alligators.

Well, assume years of hard work and good business decisions would be a good start. What the victim keeps in his home is of no concern to anyone else. I would like to know how the crooks found out about the money. Maybe a former employee. Maybe someone who knows the guy and sees that he makes good money.
