They came into some sleazy money.
Bags full of cash fell off a Brinks Home Security Company truck as it drove through a Chicago suburb last week — leaving over $300,000 in cash in the hands of sticky-fingered locals, according to a report.
The moolah hauler’s back door became ajar by “unknown means” as it rolled through the Oak Park neighborhood of the Second City on Tuesday — dropping three cash-filled bags onto Austin Boulevard, according to NBC.
Brinks claims that between 50 and 100 Chicagoans capitalized on the money mishap — making a mad cash-grabbing dash and fleeing the scene, the report stated.
Approximately $300,000 was swiped from those bags, the company claimed, according to the report.

Yep.
“Look! Reparations, right there in the street...”
It’s like a scene from a movie. Surreal if you were there and saw it.
In related news, all the scratch off Lotto tickets sold out at the nearby liquor store.
It would have been stolen in a stick up sooner or later in Chicago so this was the safest way for Brinks employees to lose it.
I fear God more than I love money.
And sales were up sharply at the likka stow.
“Reparations in the Street” sung to the tune of dancing in the street. with real dancing!
Sounds like a truck crew that dumped 10,000 off the back. :)
There’s at least 14 government offices to make up for the $300k loss, no harm no foul.

No wonder those people put ketchup on hotdogs and like to make a little valley with their pizza slices to hold the grease in until they swallow it.
So do I.
Don’t worry. I’ll handle this.
Hey, you people! Put that back!
Reminds me of a man named Joey Coyle
Joseph William Coyle (February 26, 1953 – August 15, 1993) was an unemployed longshoreman in Philadelphia who, in February 1981, found $1.2 million in the street, after it had fallen out of the back of an armored car, and kept it.
His story was made into the 1993 film Money for Nothing, starring John Cusack, as well as a 2002 book by Mark Bowden, Finders Keepers: The Story of a Man Who Found $1 Million.

I’m surprised some Dem Aldermen didn’t rush to the scene and collect their share.
The racial makeup of the village was 60.18% White, 18.69% African American, 0.05% Native American, 5.39% Asian, 0.02% Pacific Islander, 0.52% from other races, and 5.84% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 9.31% of the population.
I guess we shouldn’t assume who the perps were, it’s Chicago afterall, they like to vote for Democrats.
That didn’t end well.
