Yes its A Rod

how many of us own $500K of merchandise we could fit into a car?
not me
Turns out the amount was greatly exaggerated , no where near 500k. Off course tmz was on the case. If someone farts under a stone tmz will have the goods. A rod does have diamond jewlery that are reckless feels like he got a midget hanging on his necklace.
LOL, well I have been through a bigger one than this once.Quote:

well even a homeless bum can have $500K in stuff if you're using Federal Government Procurement Office PricesQuote:

This thread reminded me of a housemate I briefly had back in the day when I lived in Arizona as a young college student and rented a room in the ranch house home of a lovable alcoholic insurance agent...
Another renter there, who I’ll call “Jack”, was a 5-year drug-possession convict who had moved in from a halfway house about six months into his 3 year probation period after serving the first 2 at the state’s all-included accommodations at Florence. According to Jack, he should have been given a 25-year sentence for the LSD and PCP found by the cops in the trunk of the car he was driving a sting he’d been set up by a supposed friend if not for the $25,000 bribe his lawyer had passed on to the judge.
So, why should Jack have been given 25 years in the slammer instead of the much more modest 2+5? Jack claimed that the contraband he’d been nabbed with was valued at $5 million on the street. Wondering of the veracity of Jack’s claim, I conducted a pre-Google search of microfilmed local newspapers at the university library and found an article about three years prior covering the sting, named Jack, but indicating an estimated value of only $500 thousand. Still, a sizable amount.
So, except for the drugs being illegal, one could say that the police, on behalf of the state, stole a half-million dollars worth of merchandise out of the car Jack had been driving.
