Pants found on street with $41,000

WAUKESHA, Wisconsin (AP) -- It was embarrassing enough that Mark Stahnke woke up in a neighbor's yard without his pants. Then he remembered they contained a cashier's check for $41,093, meant for his son, and several hundred dollars in cash.

But he got it all back Friday, including the pants, thanks to a man and his dog.

Stahnke said he doesn't know what happened between when he left the bar and when he woke up the next morning, and police were skeptical when he filed a report on Monday.

"We're used to hearing weird stories, but with his intoxication we figured this one would be different, that the amount of money wouldn't be exact," Police Lt. William Graham said. "How do you get so intoxicated that you lose your pants?"

Stahnke said he had met his son at a bar and doesn't remember much afterward.

"I woke up cold not knowing where the heck I was, and I didn't realize it at first because I still had my shoes and socks on," he said. "When I got up, I realized, my God, I don't have any pants."

Tim Curzan's dog, Joe, found the pants at an intersection, according to a police report. He found the cashier's check and tried twice, unsuccessfully, to deliver it and the cash to where he thought the owner lived.

On Wednesday, the pants were still at the intersection, so Curzan took them to the police, who contacted Stahnke to claim his belongings.

LOL i might start drinking like that in the hopes that someone would find my pants with $41,000 in them :laugh:

LMAO...what an idiot!!!

That dimwit better have given that man a BIG reward!
His Son would have to take a loss, and only get $40,000
because that good Samaritan deserves at LEAST $1,000.
What a drunken loser. I must say, I would not have felt
sorry for him if someone found and kept the cash part.

Idiot. Good man and dog, kudos to them!

This story makes me :laugh:. I would love to know how this guy was relieved of his pants in the middle of an intersection. :laugh:

I'm thinking he likely just took them off. He had to have been pretty lit! :lol:

The thought of that cracks me up too. His hangover has probably only just begun to wear off. :laugh:

You've got me cracking up.... I could just see it now... driving down the street and suddenly some drunk taking his pants off and twirling them like a lasso over his head.... throw 'em down, and continue walking.....:laugh:

Haha. It's making me think of 16 Candles when the sister whips off her slip on the way to the car from the church after her wedding. :lol:

Man, they must have some really expensive prostitutes in Wisconsin! :eek:

I beg your pardon! That's "An enchanting and dignified night out" for me! :mad:

He probably lost them because he had to stop and take a whiz on his way home. When you're drunk, it's really easy to unfasten and take down your pants, but it's really hard to pull them back up and snap them sometimes. I can understand that in a few different types of ways. He probably just needed to wee, and now it's national news. :laugh:

yah, exactly. You know how when you are drunk, stuff that you have to do stuff with becomes unbearably irritating and difficult and slow? Like I think I broke the hinges off my bedroom door on just such an occasion. Nothing ever moves like you want it to, at the speed you want it to, because, well, your drunken sloppy ass just has no coordination. :laugh:

Never lost m-pants in public, though. That's the advanced realm of drunkenness. I can't get past level three, "Maintaining a Shred of Dignity" :shrug: I never shoot the "naked in public" power up fast enough! I totally get stuck on the "Singing Way Too Loud" and "Dangerously Cooking" levels. My favorite level is the "Drunken Bike Ride" level. That one is so fun!!!

Hell no. I could never lose my pants in public. There's just absolutely no way that would happen, unless someone removed my pants from me after I completely lost consciousness. And, to be really honest, I'd probably die from alcohol poisoning before I could consume enough alcohol to actually get that drunk. :o

My friends call me Captain Awesome when I drink. But after the awesome phase starts to wind down, I turn into sleepy drunk. :laugh:

Right, I have only taken my pants of on purpose, then put them back on. :cool:

That's, uh, nice your friends gave you a nickname. Between Captain Awesome and Captain Sleepy is Captain Starving for me.

And have you experimented with rollerblading while drunk? So.fun. But only if you are coordinated. So, I'm not recommending it or anything unless you are a good rollerblader. Otherwise, use regular skates. :laugh: This reminds me of the time in fourth grade when I made my best friend break her arm b/c I told her some thing on the bars was so easy, just try it, etc. Assuming, you know, that she had an ounce of regular coordination? It was pretty easy, though, I think a cherry drop from the parallel bars.
I didn't realize she was such a total Ree. Thus my disclaimer, here: If you are a total Ree, don't do it.

I would never.ever.ever.ever. lose sight of 41,000 dollars of mine. I would wear a chastity belt wherein the $41,000 was lodged, under lock and key.

It's not nice to make fun of rees, amber. :distress:

I would never.ever.ever.ever.EVER. take $41,000 to the bar. Everybody in the joint would end up passed out in a yard and without pants, on my tab. :laugh:

That's probably the truth. I like buying people drinks.

So. True.

Wait, did you just admonish me for using a word I didn't even know about till you told me four seconds ago? Psh. I see. I see how it iseth. Next time you are out with me, arms will be "inexplicably" broken!!! Yeah, yours. Yeah, I'm in the rollerblading mob. :mad::cool: you'll be wearing cement casts....:cool::cool::cool:

:laugh: so much for you acting like that pm didn't even happen. good way to keep it on the dl.

but srsly. no on the admonish. say whatever you want. :P

i won't challenge the rollerblading mob. however fruity it sounds, you probably could break my arms. :distress:

Only if you are not coordinated. :distress: Like, the non coordinated are so tragic, that my mob can steer clear of actual cause, and just leave people to f*ck themselves, with the smallest suggestion.

Yo, ask Jazz about his mopkickah back injury. :shrug:

Wait - you can't admonish someone for something you suggested, then cry "foul pm!".
Just saying.
It would have been private if you had not admonished. That's like telling your child to say "f*ck you!!" to their grandma, then punishing them for doing it, and acting suprised of where they heard that term.

I admire your bold sneakiness, though. I forgot I have to watch the Capricorns. They can twist some sh*t up, serious like. They're not true of heart, and spirit, and intention, like me. :angel:












:laugh::xoxo: Totally kidding. But not about the admonish after you suggested part. plz. :woohoo:
Oh, and you might not know me that well, I bring astrology in...sometimes...often...for fun...and I advise you not to scoff, lest you be inundated with mountains of information. Or a couple sentences worth. Depending on whether I am bored or not...anyway, it's just an easy way for me to describe and encapsulate things, as I have studied it muchly. I would kinda say NBD, but....

NBD?!! How about NBW?!!

I wasn't truly admonishing. Just jokingly admonishing, ree. Sheesh.

And how did you know I was a Capricorn, Dionne Warwick? I like reading all that stuff, I just don't know much about it in terms of figuring it all out on my own as it's very complex. I also like that, "yr name means that you are a cold-hearted insensitive bitch, your favorite color is blue, and -random facts here -" stuff, because it's usually kinda true. So unload the info at any time, sister. of the moon. (moo o oo oo o oo oon.)

I was hoping, but it seemed pretty srs. Like, mopkickah srs.

Because, genius like, I clicked on your profile and it said your b-day was Jan..2nd? It was either 2nd or 3rd.

Well, I admire the fact that you actually realized that it might be complex, and that although random facts might sound true, and everyone likes that, you'd probably want to know why. And, actually, your color scheme and your name might be totally different from your chart thingies, but they may or may not be true as well.
First of all, those things that seem random - your numerology, your favorite colors - just take whatever they say as a tool to think about things you might want to think about. Things don't have to describe you perfectly for you to learn from them.

You don't have to say if they are "true" or not, you just have to think whether their "lessons" resounded with you. That is the important thing.
Usually charts (astrology) are more specific. Probably, if you had your whole chart done, by a pro, you'd find many more correlations that seem to be applicable to your real life, and your personality. And you should have that. But the whole point is, again, to not show you WHAT YOU ARE, or WHAT YOU SHOULD BE, but to show you influences and tendencies in your life and personality that could influence your decisions.
The key is "influencing your decisions" and "showing you tendencies". Don't get me wrong, some astrology stuff is incredibly on point. A lot. But the whole point of it is what you take away and learn from what it shows that your lessons could be.
It's like, making the right choice according to the lessons you recognize.

DGMW (don't get me wrong), It is incredibly scientific - but before you learn that, the important part is to learn from what you hear about yourself, to take your specific lessons you think are important, and change. :shrug:

Like if you think something sounds exactly like you, but you don't like it, or see room for improvement on the subject in your daily life - then, super think about that! If something makes you feel you want to be different, and it really speaks to you, then you probably should give it attention. :angel:

And conversely, there are some lovely things you will hear about your sign/chart. And if you think they are lovely, then you can then make the decision to cultivate them within yourself. I works both ways.

[Sarah]

Thanks for spellin' it out for me, there, bucko.

The only thing I'd have to say in response is that by random, I meant various other introspectives like.. dream interpretations, auras, all kinds of stuff.. in addition to the charts. The charts themselves are the ones that I say I find complex, just from the way they're plotted.

I've had mine "generated" a few times by whatever various resources there are on the web. And it covers such a wide range. Like, there's a combination of every trait: true, not true, like, don't like. So it is kind of sketchy to me in a way.. to think about it like.. how sturdy is it, scientifically, when only likely 25 to 50 percent of those things are applied. It's like, if I punch in the exact moment that I was born, in the exact spot... if it was going to pop up some miraculous tale of how I turned out to be me, then like, the whole damn chart should apply. Or does that make me a realist? :laugh:

No seriously. I understand exactly what you're saying, and I find it to be incredibly intriguing, regardless of whether i decide to "believe in it" or not. i'm not in denial of my faults at all, that's one thing i can tell you for sure. it's like, i hold change (transition, not dimes and quarters) so dear. i really don't want to see a day where i'm perfectly content to be just how i am. there are lots of people satisfied with good enough... i get bored without the search for better. but, that comes out of all the issues that i have as well, so i can't really say i would relate to someone in a perfectly peachy keen living/self-acceptance situation, either. :shrug: I don't know. That's one of those types of feelings that you feel somewhere well below your heart and well above your mind, and you don't typically find yourself in a situation to express it with words. :laugh:

Uh... I like to ride bikes while drunk. At 3 am... with neighbors staring out their windows at me.

:laugh: Hells yeah! Eff da neighbors. Besides, there's something just a bit magical about night exercising. I mean, even when you aren't drunk.

Oh. That hurts my Pisces moon.

:laugh:

Uh oh. It's going to tell your Capricorn sun to plot a complex revenge for my demise that is so heinous that angels will be weeping. When Caps venge, entire worlds crumble...:shocked:
HEEEEEEEEEEELPPPP!!! HEEEELLLLLLLLP!!! *screams futiley*
