Nearly $10,000 was reported stolen from a Bristol Borough home among other items, according to a recent police blotter.
A home on the 800 block of Pine Street in Bristol was burglarized, according to a March 8 police blotter. Someone reportedly stole a 47 inch Vizio TV, a Cannon Rebel camera, and XBox 360 with games, a Playstation with games, an assortment of gold and silver jewelry, a motorcycle jacket, a Bose sound dock, CDs, a Playstation Vita with games, a D2Pad Android, a weed whacker, and a power drill, in addition to $9,400, the report said.
While there's not much to do to protect your belongings like TVs and gaming systems from being stolen when your home is burglarized (save having a home security system), bank accounts and safety deposit boxes are traditional ways to safe-keep money.
But some people don't have bank accounts for their savings. Others feel more comfortable having a safety stash at their home. For a variety of reasons people may keep cash on hand.
So how much money is too much money to have around the house?

They forgot to mention the rolex. The lamborgini in garage. The fur coat. The sleepnumber bed and of course the kitchen sink. That is a bunch of bull if i ever heard it. All the stuff they reported stolen is too incredilous and unbelievable. Sounds like fraud to ne and a major exageration of property loss!

Does sound fishy. How could someone steal all that and not been seen? If Nything why not just take the money ( that was sitting on the kitchen table) *joke* and walk out but take the chance of getting caught with everything..... Something isn't right????? I myself if I stashed that much money in my house it sure the hell would be hard to find
