Imagine being so good at hide-and-seek you not only win the game but come out with a cool €380,000 in cash! That’s precisely the scenario where gardaí swooped in, almost like the Avengers of law enforcement, to nab a woman in Drogheda, just as she probably thought she was on her way to the bank to stash her “retirement fund”. RTÉ News broke the case, and let’s just say, there’s no retirement plan that requires cash stuffed under the bed!

That’s a real tragedy!
