Right. Apparently, this happened before 6:00 pm Saturday, yet he waited until Sunday, when the accused thief was no longer in AC:
"Giddings said the dealer texted him at about 5:40 p.m. and said, “I’ll see you in the morning.”
At that point, Giddings said he started to get suspicious.
“Anybody who has got that type of money, or says he does, would you leave that in a booth? … So I’m scared,” he said.
At that point, Giddings said he opened the bag and found two boxes marked “$50,000.” The two boxes, however, contained only $500 each in $1 bills, he said.
“I guess he wanted me to feel warm because I trusted that he had the money there and thought, ‘He’s not going to run if he’s got that kind of money.’ But he did,” Giddings said. “It was terrible.”
When the dealer did not show up the following morning, Giddings contacted the Atlantic City Police Department, which is now investigating the alleged theft."
