Beavers weave stolen cash into dam
From correspondents in Greensburg, Louisiana
November 16, 2004

BEAVERS found a bag of bills stolen from a casino, tore it open and wove
the money into the sticks and brush of their dam on a creek near Baton
Rouge.

"They hadn't torn the bills up. They were still whole," said Major
Michael Martin of the East Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office.

The money was part of at least $US70,000 ($91,000) taken last week from
the Lucky Dollar Casino in Greensburg, about 50 kilometres north-east of
Baton Rouge.

Sheriff's deputies in St Helena Parish, where the truck stop video poker
casino is located, have accused a security guard at the casino of
disabling its security cameras. Jacqueline Wall, 25, was arrested for
criminal theft, Maj. Martin said.

She told investigators a ski-masked gunman made her help him empty all
the casino's safes, then kidnapped her, knocked her out and left her in
an uninhabited area in East Feliciana Parish.






Deputies had searched for the money for days before a lawyer called with
a tip: the money had been thrown into the creek.

The laywer's client hopes to make a deal with prosecutors, Greensburg
Police Chief Ronald Harrell said.

They found one money bag right away. The second was downstream, against
the beaver dam.

After trying unsuccessfully to find the third bag in the deep water near
the dam, Maj. Martin said, deputies began to break it down to release
some of the water so they could search in a shallower pool.

That was when they saw the dam's expensive decoration. He said they
eventually found the third sack, which still had some money left in it.

"The casino people were elated" to get the money back, even if some of
it was wet, Chief Harrell said.

Deputies found about $US40,000 ($52,000), and expected to find the rest
in a safety deposit box at a bank in Mississippi.

there must be something puerile I could be saying her, while at the same
time witty and urbane, but I'll be damned if I can come up with anything!
