  1. good detective work! even though i suppose it’s possible, but i really doubt that there was $800 in there or even close to it. where do they get their estimate from? let’s say on the extreme side, that there were only $20 bills in there, you wouldn’t even be able to physically fit 40 20’s in that small pushka. if the public believes that the average pushka has $800, you’re sending a bad message to would be thieves.

    • if the public believes that the average pushka has $800, you’re sending a bad message to would be thieves.
      Excellent point.
