Police seek theif who stole $500, $1000 bills
Sharon, Pa. --------- Whose picture is on the U.S. $500 bill? How about the $1000 bill? Police in one western Pennsylvania city said a burglar would be able to answer those currency trivia questions, because he or she stole one of each bill from a resident.
The high-denomination bills were taken out of circulation in the late 1960s, which is why collectors covet them. They're still worth their face value ---- and more to collectors if they're in good shape. Sharon police said a homeowner reported the thefts. The large bills were part of $10,300 taken from a strong box in the home. Police Chief Mike Menster said there was no forced entry into the home or the box.
For the record, Grover Cleveland is pictured on the $1000 bill.
William McKinley is on the $500 note.
She hopes house bounces back
Anchorage, Alaska -------------- Michelle Appel is hoping to solve a big Alaska mystery with a colorful past. She's hoping someone will helop her track down the Anchorage customer who rented a king-size, kids-only bounce house from her in 2012 ------ and then bounced with it.
Appel and her husband, Adam, own For Fun Alaska, an inflatable games-rental business. Two years ago, they spent $4,000 for a "Big Big Bouncer," an inflatable structure 25 feet wide, 20 feet deep and about 15 feet high, Appel said, decked out in primary colors. "It was just a monster," she said.
It had been used only a couple of times when a woman on June 30, 2012, paid $400 on a credit card to rent the Big Big Bouncer and a generator for one day, the Anchorage Daily News reported.
The Appels tracked the customer to her home. No one answered the door, and neighbors said the residents had just moved or been evicted. The Appels handed out fliers at the park with a bounce-house photo. No luck. The woman who rented the house canceled her credit card.
