Drivers pinch armfuls of cash after security truck spills £90,000 on motorway
Daily Star ^ | 11 July 2019 | Sofie Jackson

DRIVERS have been filmed shamelessly scooping up armfuls of cash off a busy motorway after a security van spilled its contents.

“There were definitely people running out into the highway,” he said.

“I-285 is the busiest road in Atlanta with speeds averaging over 75MPH and six lanes in each direction.

In the video, a string of cars can be seen parked up on the hard shoulder as drivers scramble around filling their arms with banknotes.

Under US law, the finders of lost property must take reasonable steps to locate the owner of that property before they can claim it.

I sat for over an hour after a drug bust went bad, and the dealer winged the cash off the Cicero Av bridge (Chicago) on to the Ike. All the cash was gone when I passed by.

Officer: The sign says ‘Emergency Parking Only’

Driver: Well, SIR, I’m running low on Colt 45, EBT day isn’t for another three weeks, and all that cash is just fluttering around, THAT’S AN EMERGENCY and A SOLUTION

Yesterday I was at a bus stop. There was a young lady with a babystroller and a shoppingbag. The wrong bus (for me came) came. She got on and the bus left. Then I noticed she left her bag so I took it into the shop and asked them to hold it for her.

I’d scoop, loot, keep...finders keepers.

Armored cars that dump cash on the road are a Darwin stupid thing and I’m NOT responsible for fixing stupid.

Gee, the only payload I ever had access to was a truckload of Thomas’ English Muffins on State Route 6 in eastern Connecticut.

When it happened near me, that evening the Chief of police Joe DiLeonardi, could not read his lines he was laughing too much.
Asking the good citizens to please return any money found on the expressway...

A boss interviewed 3 women for a receptionist position. He asked each the same question: If you found a $100 bill on the sidewalk, what would you do? The first said she would tell no one and keep the money. The second said she would hold on to the money and return it to the rightful owner, if he was identified. The third said she would not keep the money, but turn it in to the police.

Q: Which woman got the job?

A: The one with the biggest t*ts!

In a heavy snow storm we got off the main road...
A tipped over cheese truck, a million footprints, and a path back to the road.
No cheese.

Were the million footprints very small?



That cheese probably would have been good melted on my English Muffins!

Years ago we picked up hundreds of oil field shape charges and blasting caps off of the Interstate. Some (former) employee didn’t latch the door of a Central Freight truck and it dumped load until it got pulled over at the Oklahoma border weigh station.

I still don’t know why I’d want one so I gave all I found back. They looked like giant acorns.

There are so many cameras in so many places now, they’d have your name, license plate number, and and what you had for breakfast before you bought a six pack with that loot.

Guessing you are into Scottish broad swords, not command detonated anti-personal devices?

We got stuck for an hour once due to an accident.

When traffic started moving we saw an overturned and busted open semi trailer with potatoes and onions scattered everywhere.

Several of the fireman in attendance had 50lb bags on their shoulders headed towards their own trucks.

They’re already tracking plate #s.

The smart play would be to return SOME of the money. No way they know exactly how much you found haha

One of my bosses had a similarly creative interview screening process.
Had each ‘girl’ lock her fingers behind her head and walk toward the wall, elbows forward.

Elbows (or stomachs) hitting the wall first -— automatic disqualification

His technique wasn’t foolproof, however. He lamented that he had a few secretaries who could type at only 15, but erase at 80 words per minute

Why is it that stories like these happen in the U.S., but you never find out about it except through the British press?

Obviously a British publication. In Southern California, a "motorway" is a dirt road. In England, a "motorway" is a freeway.
