INDIANAPOLIS -- State police say drivers clamored to pick up cash on an interstate in Indianapolis after the back doors of a Brinks armored truck swung open and hundreds of thousands of dollars flew out. Troopers at the scene initially said up to $600,000 had flown across the interstate, but police later said the exact amount was not known, CBS affiliate WTTV reports.

State police spokesman Sgt. John Perrine says investigators don't know exactly how much cash was in the truck when its lost its load about 9 a.m. Wednesday on Interstate 70 on the city's southwest side. Perrine says it was definitely hundreds of thousands.

"Bags of money were falling out of the back onto the interstate," ISP Corporal Brock McCooe said. "Sort of something out of a movie scene, where you have bills, loose bills flying all over the interstate, vehicles stopping, people getting out of their cars."

Was the name “Bernie Sanders” printed on the side of the truck?

Always double check that back door. Be sure it doesn’t just ‘appear to be locked’. Maybe there should be a little red light that blinks ON when the door is properly locked.
Whatever, the driver may want to update his resume.
Just don’t refer to the time you were employed by Brinks.
Say that you were ‘researching a novel’ in Prague.

Brinks will know EXACTLY soon enough when they tally up what they were unable to deliver. They probably don’t want to give the cops, much less the media, an exact figure to advertise around.

Sometimes, with a little practice, it's quite easy to get money out of an armored car.

Why can’t this happen to me while I am in the mood for some free cash.

Finder’s keeper’s.

We all know those cops would jump on that too. Just ten seconds of collecting is a new PC or guitar.

Sorry, folks. If you didn’t call “Dibs!” it isn’t your money.
