But on Saturday evening, a 7-year-old girl phoned the Flathead County Sheriff's Office to report money missing from her piggy bank.

Very few people know that "piggy bank" evolved from the Middle English term "pygg jar," which referred to a jar - used to hold money - that was made out of a clay called "pygg."

And not many people older than 25 know that rapper 50 Cent wrote a song called "Piggy Bank" in which the choruses went: "Clickity-clank. Clickity-clank. The money goes into my piggy bank." The other lyrics can't be printed in this newspaper.
