Stolen Hearts

June 11, 2019

Marvin and Shirley Applebaum were childhood sweethearts who had married and settled down in the same neighborhood where they grew up. They were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary and decided to walk down the street to their old school. There, they hold hands as they find the old desk they 'd shared and where he had carved "I love you, Shirley."

On their way back home, a bag of money falls out of an armored car and lands practically at their feet. Shirley quickly picks it up and decides to take it home until they decide what to do with it. There, she counts the money, and it's fifty thousand dollars.

Marvin says, "We've got to give it back."

Shirley says, "Finders keepers" and puts the money back in the bag and hides it up in their attic.

The next day, two FBI men are going door-to-door in the neighborhood looking for the money and show up at their home. They say, "Pardon me, but did either of you find or know about some money that fell out of an armored car yesterday?"

Shirley says, "No."

Marvin quickly interjects, "She's lying!! She hid it up in the attic."

Shirley says, "Don't believe him, he's getting senile."

However, the agents sit Marvin down and begin to question him. "Sir, please tell us the story from the beginning."

Marvin says, "Well, when Shirley and I were walking home from school yesterday..."

The FBI agents immediately look at each other and say, "Let's get out of here!!"
