The first two paragraphs of the Star Extra newspaper report included within the novel suggest that the police will soon find the money stolen from Senator Zapanta's house. Why are the police confident in their ability to find the money?

The police believe that due to the huge sum of money that is missing, it will be nearly impossible for this type of cash to remain hidden for very long. Especially because most of the citizens' abject poverty, spending of any kind will attract immediate attention and the police believe they will be able to locate it fairly easily as a result.
