Chicago is also unspoken for as far as I know, but I think someone is heading for the Philly package


They *do* know that it's -7 degrees here today, don't they? The location is all the way downtown, otherwise I'd give it at try.

Hey, my brother got the drop in Philly, had a hard time unlocking it because his hands were cold. Very Happy Laughing He persevered and recovered the cash, I'm waiting for him to get home so I can find out how much.

I will provide more details when I get home from work.

Hubby picked up the Austin cache and I'd recommend that if you're going, take pliers. He said the money was really jammed in tight! But hooray, money!

Shared credit for finding the drop goes to XNBomb as well, and my friend Skuld (I picked her up from South Station and we went immediately looking for it. She came in off a Red Eye and was still excited to hunt).

We were looking for a bag of some sort, based on previous descriptions of drops a month ago. I didn't realize that a pin # was available; we saw the pad lock right at the beginning, and didn't consider it because of that. XNB brought the pin and we figured it out; the padlock also had a big '8' on one side. It was attached directly to the trash can, and opening it revealed a small slot stuffed with bills. 50 Ruble bill, $100 USA, 2x $20 Canadian, 2x 10 Euro, 210 in HKD (in four bills). I took photos of them all to make sure we didn't lose anything.

Serial numbers are:

2200200
ELB8520799
ALY0050001
HQ392757
KRJ64465

What would really help is if you can translate the TIME... Smile

For the Miami drops, those are like at noon on a Thursday, which is gonna be rather tricky for me to do considering (1) I work 100 miles away in Boca Raton, and (2) I don't have a car, so getting anywhere within 3 hours won't be easy.

If only I knew of a strategic place for me to await instructions, but Miami's a big place.

I can probably get the one in Ann Arbor. It's in about a week. Possibly one of the ones in Detroit, as well.
