Spanish police are investigating the theft of just over $2 million in cash that was kept in plastic bags by nuns at a convent, said a report on News.com.au. "The sisters called us on February 28 to say that several doors in the convent had been broken and that a large amount of cash had disappeared," a police spokeswoman in the northern city of Zaragoza said.The nuns kept the 1.5 million euros in cash in plastic bags - money they are said to have saved over several years. One of the nuns, Isabel Guerra sells paintings, which the regional newspaper Periodico de Aragon said are highly valued and can sell for up to $66,000.
The sisters at the Santa Lucia convent in Zaragoza live largely in seclusion and spend much of their time working on book-binding, according to their website.
