The whole beginning in the restaurant is kind of confusing, but I thought it was $195 in tips, and he can say how much he wants because it was skimmed? Not sure. A lot of this plot was confusing, especially the whole thing with the safe. The cop has everything on tape, happens to arrive for a pickup at the same time (1AM) as the 3 thieves. The he falls down and drops dead, then Charlie takes the tape and Eric tells him it's Bedbug Eddie's money. Anyway it's a great film!

Thanks Adam - yea that makes sense with the tips and skimming
Yea I agree it’s confusing
As far as the Break in I don’t know if this helps
The cop had been recording his meetings with a bed bug Eddie in case something went wrong in bed bug Eddie ratted on the cop as backwards as that sounds LOL
Why bedbug was paying off the police I’m not sure exactly As it seems like he pretty much ran the neighborhood anyway but I guess they figured the most subtle way to do it was for the cop to come and take a
money one of his businesses As it was done at night it would afford him the best cover
As far as falling down he just fell down the elevator shaft because I guess he wasn’t that good under fire and got nervous from Barney yelling and assumed that the guys had a gun on them and was going backwards so he didn’t see the shaft but yeah that is a very good streak of good luck for the three guys and a bit unrealistic i agree
Though I always thought it was kind of cool how gutsy it was of Barney to fake out the cop by yelling and at least in the movie Pauly and Charlie never give them credit for kind of saving their butt that way And Staying cool under pressure
