I'm sure it'll all be returned.

[sauropod]

Yep.

[Psalm 73]

“Look! Reparations, right there in the street...”

[monkeyshine]

It’s like a scene from a movie. Surreal if you were there and saw it.

[Eccl 10:2]

In related news, all the scratch off Lotto tickets sold out at the nearby liquor store.

[Bullish]

It jus' fell right off the back Ang...

[Bonemaker]

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.

[roving]

I fear God more than I love money.

[albie]

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!

[Waverunner]

Sounds like a truck crew that dumped 10,000 off the back. :)

[C210N]

There’s at least 14 government offices to make up for the $300k loss, no harm no foul.

[C210N]

Not sure why anybody needs to wait for cash to fall off a Brinks Truck, when you can take all you want.

Oak Park is a municipality bordering Chicago, not a neighborhood. And "The Second City", etc. - sounds like the NY Post used some AI program to generate the story and then gave it a name (Shane Galvin) to cover up.

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.

[No name given]

So do I.

[lowbridge]

Don’t worry. I’ll handle this.

Hey, you people! Put that back!

[lowbridge]

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.

[Nekman]

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.

[Skooz]

That didn’t end well.
