California Highway Patrol began receiving calls at about 9:15 a.m. about “a large sum of money in the roadway” on a section of Interstate 5, and that some drivers were getting out of their cars to collect the bills, KTLA’s sister station in San Diego, KSWB, reported.
A man and a woman suspected of taking cash were arrested after they got stuck on the freeway with their keys locked in the car, blocking traffic, according to CHP.
The incident generated significant buzz in the community. Soon, videos of people scooping up cash were widely circulated on social media and among local news outlets, KSWB reported.
Multiple screenshots from some of these videos were released late Friday by CHP, which was investigating the incident along with the FBI.
CHP said it was working to determine the identities of the motorists in the images and urged those who took bills to return the money within 48 hours “to avoid potential criminal charges,” KSWB reported.

“The Clampett family” on “The Beverly Hillbillies” did the same thing.
On one episode, the Clampetts were throwing money out the windows of one of the offices on the higher floors of The Commerce Bank in Beverly Hills.

My grandparents lived a few blocks from a cannery and liked to sit on their front porch (they never had a TV) and watch the traffic go by. One time a crate of tomatoes fell off one of the trucks and my grandfather went down and helped himself to some tomatoes.
