Has anyone checked on the names and addresses of the 5 incarcerated men. If there is any truth to loot being buried in a back yard, you could probably tempt the current property owner.

How do we know if the 2 who were acquitted didn't double back later? The answer is we don't but if it were me, I would've went back for it and spent it. With the other 4 names listed here and after some digging, the $3500 is not worth going after in my opinion especially if 2 of the men were free men.

Well a Negative is harder to Prove then a Positive.

In most N.Y. Stories when I google the address, all I see are
Gigantic Buildings & Concrete.

Liantl's Property 2290 second avenue bronx ny may not have changed to that extent.
No Idea on Age of Building.

But there is some Ground yet, Which is a Surprise.

and Ground in N.Y. seems to be a Treasure in Itself :thumbsup:

The "What IF" is a Bonus :thumbsup::laughing7:
