But to store it hidden? Its lunacy. The house could have easily caught on fire, burning up everything saved.

Have you ever met a Depression survivor? Hidden in the house is exactly how they all save. The banks collapsed during the Depression. They remember that. People with money in the banks lost it all. These people who are mentally scarred from the Depression save in some form with irreplaceable value in a place that they fully control. Having wads of cash hidden in the house, and being distrustful of banks, perfectly fits the Depression saver profile. The only way it would be better is if he were stashing precious metals.

This coming from the guy that bashes movies he's never seen, or pins he's never played... ::)

To judge a person, and to judge a pinball machine are two very different things.
For one, a pinball is pretty much an open book. You can see all the shots, all the artwork, and by way of experience from playing other pins, can easily make a pretty accurate judgment on how good or bad it is without even touching it. (most especially with such lame 'artwork')
As for movies, a combination of reviews, of 10 mins of preview footage, a description of the plot, seeing whos acting in it, the director, and much more... and can pretty much tell if its something thats even worth your time. Im not saying that this is always the case... but tell me Im wrong that I should have actually went to pay to see Sucker Punch?! Its one thing to judge something with somewhat of a deep plot that isnt really revealed... but SP?
Also, from a moral standpoint, its not Nice to judge people. Especially those who have passed away that cant defend themselves... nor to the children who may read such posts.

It's also not uncommon for them to be packrats. Gold or aluminum, they saved nearly everything.
Donkbaca:
ITs obvious that it was blood money paid to him for doing things who was too ashamed to admit to his family about, so he hid the money to try and soothe his guilt, pledging one day to donate to something to make his peace and make things right, but he could never figure out the right cause. Poor man died with the weight of a million horrible, unspeakable deeds weighing on his conscience. Having never made things right, I would worry about ghosts...
