The beavers tore open one of three bags of money stolen from a casino and tossed in a remote area near Baton Rouge, the Advocate reported Monday. Advertisement The beavers weaved the bills into the sticks and brush they were using to build their dam, said Maj. Michael Martin of the East Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office. "They hadn't torn the bills up," he said. "They were still whole." Deputies also found two other money bags that had floated against the dam. They have recovered about $40,000 of the $70,000 to $75,000 that was stolen last week from the Lucky Dollar Casino. They hope to find the rest in a Mississippi bank security box. A tip from an attorney for a suspect in the theft led deputies to the money-grabbing beavers during the weekend.
