And let's face it, who travels with a quarter million of legitimate cash in the trunk? If it was legit cash, I'd have at least bothered to get it turned into a bank draft payable to myself. The casino story doesn't wash either. Ever try cashing in even $10K at a casino? You pretty much have to sign over your first born to do it, so a quarter million in unreceipted casino winnings is no plausible.

He probally didnt. A lot of people dont know that (in the states anyways) when they ask if they can search the car you can say no. If they dont have any
definite reason to search they cant.
