"Do you have the money?" Tim Tate asked as we headed out on our mission under the cover of darkness Tuesday, and a little shiver went down our spine. Our first ransom drop!!!
We weren't sure what -- if anything -- was going to happen that night. All we knew was that Tate had to make the drop ($10,000 in Monopoly currency, unmarked bills) at exactly 11 p.m., in the lap of the Albert Einstein statue on Constitution Avenue. Those were the demands included in the eerie package we got last week.
What would happen? Would Tate, a D.C. artist, get his exquisite glass sculpture back? . . . Would we come face to face with the mysterious letter-writer known only as "The Collector"? . . . Should we have called police?
You can find the rest of the article here.
Frankly, I think this is the coolest thing I've ever read in the Washington Post--and I've read a lot of amazing articles. I'm definitely going to be following this story as it unfolds!
What do you think?
