>>Cash
Any more than £1,000 and the police can confiscate the cash if you are stopped on the way to the bank with it (I think they have to suspect it has a connection to crime but the bar for suspicion is very low).
You then have to prove that it's not got anything to do with crime (to a magistrate I believe).
This is a law designed to mop up proceeds of crime / money laundering but innocent people can be caught up (sods law and all that).
