I'd love to know how that much cash ended up in a ceiling space though, someone must know it's there, but has decided it's not worth the risk to come back and get it. Or they're in prison.

I'd guess either 1. they have talked to the culprit, who didn't fancy going to prison so didn't admit to it, or 2. one of the previous tenants had a regular visitor that they didn't know was storing the cash there.

I know they said none of the previous tenants had a history but I'd expect most drug dealers probably don't have a criminal history, if they are good at their job.

Maybe there was a lot more but they took it? It's a lot of money to us but if you had cartel connections I imagine it's the equivalent of change that got stuck in the couch.

I find it hard to imagine that being small change to anyone, but I can see someone writing it off as a loss.
