German cops in Stuttgart put out a national alert today....looking for a 42-year old German woman.
Crime? Well....back around two months ago....she walked out of her money-transport companies vault....with 1-million Euro in cash.
Problems in hindering her 'freedom'? Well....they suggest a number of tattoos on her arms. Walking around in public....in Germany....would be a problem.
My humble view? If I had a million Euro in cash....the last place I'd linger around is Germany. I'd take off for some small town in Bulgaria, Romania or Greece.....plus I might have the tattoos covered over or lasered-off.
Surviving off a million at age 40? This presents the bigger of problems. You have to isolate yourself....avoid detection....then live off a strict budget in a pretty quiet and rural location.
A million just isn't really that much of a pot of money. Maybe you'd buy into a cafe on some Greek isle, and just chill out for the next thirty-odd years.

You're right, a million isn't much these days... but I'd like to give it a crack trying if someone's willing to give me a million Euros!
In Turkey, I could make this work (if it was all in Euro). Exchange would be in my favor. Greece would work but less favor. But you'd really need a bar/cafe to plough money into...to carry this forward 30 years. Just living off the cash...would require 40,000 Euro a year for a decent lifestyle....70,000 for a slightly upscale life.
Someone ought to make a movie off the story.
