Beavers Weave Stolen Cash Into Dam — ridiculous story of the month!!
GREENSBURG, La. (AP) – It was probably the world’s richest beaver dam. Beavers found a bag of bills stolen from a video poker casino last week, tore it open and wove the money into the sticks and brush of their dam on a creek north of Louisiana Highway 48. Major Michael Martin of the East Feliciana Parish Sheriff’s Office says bills used to build the dam were still whole.
The money was part of 70- to 75-thousand dollars taken from the Lucky Dollar Casino in Greensburg. About 40-thousand dollars was recovered. Authorities expect to find the rest in a safety deposit box at a bank in Mississippi.
…meanwhile, beavers throughout Louisiana are suffering from the destruction of all of their dams as locals search for more of the missing cash.
