Important Question

[erexpill.com]

- I just awoke this morning at 5am to discover my microwave was on fire!!! ....... I sometimes fall asleep on the couch after watching t.v. and somehow awoke to the smell of smoke ..... I look to the kitchen and hear my microwave running??? ..... I leap from the couch and quickly pull the plug ..... after finding my wits about me Im shocked to find a stash of money I keep hidden in the microwave (dont ask why) half burned up. My question is: Can a bank replace burnt bills? ..... Im literally shaking right now as I realize this could've been alot worse had I actually slept in my closed bedroom

Thanks

Only way to find out is to take them to the bank...Put on your best red face look..

I'm pretty shure bank employees have heard a lot of stories as to what happened to the cash.

Yes

A local bnk can not do it, but the bank of canada will do it free of charge, an any bill they can make out the serial number of.

- I was pooling money for a vacation to Prauge on Jan 31, and have just always used the microwave as a temporary safe .... my guess is the microwave was on the fritz? (its only 6 months old) or my kitten somehow turned it on.

- What story should I give the bank? .... Just tell them the truth?. The bills are mostly there, some had just the metal strip on them catch fire.

I bought a big LG micro about 6 months ago. After about 2 months a bag of 4 bagels fell out of the cupboard and landed on top of the micro....it came on. The timer said 0min but the light was on and the tray was turning. I found if you banged the top right side of the micro in came on.....go figure. RETURNED !!!

I gotta stop checking out the medicine cabinets of my friends' houses when I go there and check out their microwaves instead.

Self-starting microwaves nuking hidden stashes of cash. Damn ... the things you learn on TERB ...

BTW, if you're too embarassed to own up to the truth, just deposit the burnt $$$ into your account via a bank machine. Then a few days later withdraw it. Presto! New unburnt money! Of course, you may still get a call from the bank, but it's worth a shot.

Bank of Canada will replace them. Be honest, you stored it in a microwave and accidentially turned it on.

You might get a funny look since its 5 grand but..... legal tender is still legal tender

Don't touch the unburnt portion. Keep burnt portion and the ashes in a big envelop and bring all to the bank.

A long time ago, I deposited a 3/4 of $10 bill, I actually got 3/4 of the bill value, $7.5.

I doubt that you'll get all your money back, but at least some.
