Would you leave $50k in your passenger seat?

Ed Reed allegedly did this and is surprised someone broke into his car and relieved him of it.

A fool and his money....

I wouldn't leave 5o bucks laying in the passenger seat. What an idiot

Given his paychecks, that's akin to the average working stiff losing a couple hundred bucks. Big deal.

This is just wrong on so many levels. There are very few things you should be purchasing in the 5 or 6 figures for CASH. If you need to move money around there's such things as electronic transfer, even a certified check. But hopping to multiple banks to take out this type of cash is suspect and I'm sure the IRS will be asking him about it.

It's his money right? Shouldn't you be able to carry around as much as you like? Maybe he was buying a car. Maybe he wanted to buy a house with cash.
Your argument sounds like it's right out of the Brady Campaign website. "why do people need xxxxx" "what reason could you have for needing xxxxx"

Because it's his ****ing money!

On this you and I are in absolute agreement. It drives me nuts to hear... Why did he have so much cash on him?

Because he can.

I bet he had that 50K cash ready to buy .22 lr from a flipper. That's why he isn't saying much.
Which one of you were selling in bulk??????

The rest of this post seems to have been taken care of but I must ask... why would the IRS ask him about it?

As if he isn't a multimillionaire and couldn't possibly have 50k cash on his person at any moment. Mr Ed Reed, where did you get so much money from?

I love Ed Reed. Baltimore born and raised. Go Ravens!

I'm with you there, just don't get stopped for speeding with that kind of cash on you without a solid paper trail proving its yours.

Not saying it's right at all, but you will be assumed guilty of something if found with that amount of money and just say "it's mine".
