Woman loses $17,000 in fast food restaurant

A South Valley woman is asking for the public's help after losing her life savings while at a fast food restaurant.

Maria Morales says she doesn't trust banks and was carrying $17,000 in her purse.

Morales asked for the money to be returned, "If someone has found it, I want them to have compassion for me. I want that person to realize that I need that money."

She went into the Burger King in Bakersfield when the bag disappeared.

Morales saved the money over 40 years as a farmworker and planned on using the money to buy a home.

i dont like banks either but shit, thats just dumb..

Wait. . .not only was she carrying $17,000 around with her, but she LOST it? How do you misplace your life savings? I'd I had that kind of money on me, it would be duct taped to my nuts.

Dont trust banks?
You cant even trust yourself let alone be responsible and NOT carry around 17 grand in your purse.

Sorry Lady... But its gone. And you learned a valuable lesson.... trust banks... cause your FDAC insured up to 100,000 and also.... not to carry 17 thousand less take it out of a safe of your home.

Fucking retard.

spend, lend, or invest it. Think of it as an

I kind of feel sorry for her....

And then I think about how much I could do with that sort of money. And how I'd never EVER do anything that foolish to lose it.

And then I stop feeling sorry for her, and start feeling jealous of whoever's got the money now...

I might not, I'm a bad bad person

"Morales saved the money over 40 years as a farmworker and planned on using the money to buy a home."

Sounds like she might have been an illegal immigrant. Can people without green cards open bank accounts? I know that homeless people have this problem due to athe lack of a fixed address.

I'd keep $2000, because I need to pay some bills. I'd give the rest back.

$17,000 to buy a house, hate to see the house, but hey if you are stupid enough to carry that kind of money around then I wouldn't think your taste would be that good.

I doubt I would even be able to carry that much money. I can imagine it would be heavy.

Wait, is that Australian dollars or US dollars?

40 years to save $17,000AUD is a loooong time.

actually its really not.

A million dollars only weighs 21 pounds in I believe all Hundred's

So I think it would be pretty light.
