A clipping from the Journal Gazette

I was sitting having my coffee this morning and reading the paper when this article grabbed my attention. Nothing exciting about it...or is there? Here, read it for yourself.



Ohio drivers grab spilled cash

"Columbus, Ohio- More than $100,000 is missing after a bag of cash fell from an armored car into an intersection, leading several motorists to stop and grab handfuls of bills, police said Thursday.

About $100,000 was picked up by police officers and $12,000 more was returned by 10 or so people after the bag hit the pavement, was run over and split open Wednesday morning in Whitehall in suburban Columbus, police Sgt. Dan Kelso said. About 15-20 people scrambled to grab the cash, Kelso said.

Callers told a 911 dispatcher that there were $20 bills everywhere, money floating all over the place and it's causing a major scene.
A bunch of people are blocking traffic because it looks like a truck has lost some money...."

The story continues saying how the armored truck company has no idea how the money fell out and they are investigating and how the police are going to investigate with footage from surveillance videos from nearby stores, etc. Anyone who doesn't turn money in will be charged with Felony Grand Larsony.

Now, I ask you, what would you have done if you'd driven into this intersection and seen floating money?

I can only say this....Greg, Ashley, Mom, and Dad...as you drive into visit us over the next week, KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED!!!! You never know, you may just get a $20 stuck to your windshield!
