Man finds $100,000 cash hidden in the attic

A Sanford man was looking for a bad wire in his attic after the power went out when he found $100,000 in cash, starting a messy legal fight over who should get the money, the Associated Press reports. The money was hidden in a cavity cut in the insulation in four plastic bags filled with $20 and $100 bills and stuffed into a strongbox. The man, a 26-year-old computer engineer, remembered that someone was killed in the home years earlier, so he called police.
