Who leaves 200k cash in the backseat of a fukking car?!?! That's a dumb move even if someone was sitting in the front seat. 200k where everyone can see it? Why?

 

[WesCrook]

He should have left and came back with a hoodie, gloves, and a duffel bag.

Sure they would have questioned him as he was seen looking through the window, but that wouldn't proven anything. Probably would have been enough to execute a search warrant of his home though. Dumbass probably would have stashed it under his mattress

[Crayola Coyote]

Sounds like a set up
