Three men charged with stealing $1M from lottery winner
Three men charged with stealing $1M from lottery winnerPosted: 2/27/2008 7:50:04 AM  North Branford, Connecticut, police have arrested three men for allegedly stealing $1 million in cash from a man who hit the lottery more than 20 years ago. Police say the North Branford resident kept his winnings in a home safe. Police say two of the three East Haven men arrested are the grandson and son-in-law of the alleged victim. The money was apparently taken during two thefts in November but the victim, not identified by police, didn't notice the money was missing from his safe until Jan. 15. Those charged are 18-year-old Raffaele Iuliano Jr., 44-year-old Raffaele Iuliano Sr. and 24-year-old Joseph Bernardo. Police say they have recovered about $219,000. Source: AP

He kept a million dollars in a safe in his home?  I don't think I would keep that much money in my home unless I had excellent security.

If he had the mentality of basically sticking the money under the mattress....I'm seriously doubting he thought about writing a will. I sure hope he did and plans on taking them out of it.
Sad.

By keeping that money in his house, he should be charged with contributing to their downfall much like when you have an accident and are not wearing your seatbelt you can be charged.... that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. Let him try in my neighborhood..Now that dummy will have to stay AWAKE wondering who is going to come after him now that they know he has the money IN HIS HOUSE!!!

And not to mention all the money he was losing by not investing it. Think of all that interest he could have been receiving! AUUGGHHH!

Yeah, That's why no one in my family will know if I can help it. Blind Trust. I will do something for them but in such small increments that it wouldn't raise suspicions. I will simply tell them that I won on a scratcher or something and let them ask for the
$5 or $10 k that I will gladly cough up in small pieces. My famliy woulDn't knock me in the head or anything But I will not have ANY peace.
TRY AND FIND ME!
