Fla. police find ATM in backseat of car
JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. (UPI) -- During a routine arrest of two suspected burglars in Florida, police were shocked to discover a stolen automated teller machine in the back of the duo's car.
When Jacksonville Beach police arrested John Kiedroski and Damien Shain Lee Saturday, they found very damaging evidence in the suspected burglars' car in the form of a stolen ATM, the Florida Times-Union reported.
Several Florida police departments had been working together to keep the suspects under surveillance and the two were arrested after allegedly robbing a Jacksonville Beach store.
It was then that police followed them to a home in nearby Atlantic Beach and located the store's ATM in the suspects' car.
The paper said as the men remain in custody, police are attempting to determine what other stolen items may be present at their home.

How many millionaires are there in the United States?
Upwardly Mobile
Dear Upwardly Mobile:
There are literally millions of millionaires in the United States. In fact, according to this 2005 article from MarketWatch, 8.9% of Americans are millionaires. That translates to roughly 2.6 million people.
Of course, being a millionaire doesn't necessarily mean you have millions of dollars in cash lying around your mansion and stuffed in the glove box of your Ferrari. To determine someone's overall wealth, all their holdings are looked at, including investments, cash, furniture, baseball cards, ridiculously expensive automobiles, and real estate. However, a person's primary residence does not count toward the total.
The Affluent Market Research Program conducted a study to determine which counties in the United States host the most millionaires. According to their findings, Los Angeles County tops the list with roughly 262,800 millionaire households. Next is Cook County, Illinois, followed by Orange County, California (aka "The O.C.").
Finally, if you really want to be a millionaire and you're not cut out for major-league baseball, consider becoming a United States senator. Although the position doesn't guarantee wealth, a shocking 40% of senators are certified millionaires. Gotta like those odds...
