Neighbor's Claim
When the news started picking up, his neighbor came to the conversation. He claimed that it was actually his money, on his property, and Wayne was the one who stole from him. Delores Johnson said she had dropped the money in the yard to get it out of her yard. The reason was that it was cursed!
Cursed Coins
Delores Johnson believed that the money was bad luck, even cursed. She might have been right because she died shortly after Wayne found the money in his own backyard! Maybe he should have known about that before taking it on himself. See, things didn't work out great for Wayne...
