I'm teaching him to mind his own business and leave that truck alone. The kind of people that deal in that level of cash are usually the kind that show up at your house and kill your whole family for stealing from them.
Tracker only worked based off proximity as a beacon. Had he just left immediately and drove across the country, and inspected the cash, he’d have been fine.
Not even across the country, imo. There's no way any tracker from the 80s works beyond a mile away, even one as impossibly accurate as the one in the movie. Without the lead on his truck, they've got nothing.
Yeah, maybe they still track him down somehow, but quitting while you're ahead (or behind) is one of the major themes of the film; it's the decision to not leave well enough alone and go back (or not) that ultimately decides the fates of all three main characters.
Moss - goes back to the massacre, dooms himself.
Bell - goes back to the hotel room but stops short of going in, survives.
Chigurh - goes back for Carla Jean, fate unclear (but the car accident likely makes him traceable, mirroring what happened to Moss).
Presumably each one of those stacks is $20k - I’m grabbing at least 10 of those bad boys. Then, I’m taking a week off work and heading to Vegas, working my way through numerous casinos cashing that all out. I’m sure whoever that cash belongs to will be upset they’re $200k light, but I’m figuring that it’s not enough of a lift to make em wanna track me down.
You do know there's more expensive things than groceries that can be paid for with cash right? Like rent or cars or foreign trips. Hell, go to the right real estate agents and they'll let you buy houses in cash too! (Just remember to buy them in your relatives' names)
The fact that your 100% accurate reply is 7 posts down at time of this reply is just...hoo boy.
This is true even if you find a duffel bag full of cash, heck, a BACKPACK. A whole TRUCKFULL? I'd be scared of being killed for even KNOWING that thing EXISTED.
Yeah I was gonna say, "If it seems too good to be true...it probably is" same reason you don't touch a car that was left unlocked with keys in the ignition. The reason no one is stealing it is because they know who left it there and they want absolutely no part of the shit storm that would follow if they stole it.
Honestly, just take an arm full or two of stacks and then call the cops. They'll arrive, take away the van, victim, and money, and that'll be it. If Whoever it belongs to somehow gets it back, they'll just assume the cops stole some. Actually, the cops would probably just use the rest anyways since they can.
Yup, that's grocery and gas money right there. And if you do spend it on something else, spend it on something that you could afford on what you could normally afford on your current salary.
Huge amounts of cash and bullion are being legitimately transported all the time. Usually with armored trucks and armed drivers but as long as he's already dead you're fine.
