A man reportedly threw roughly $200,000 in cash out of a speeding car and onto the interstate in Eugene, Oregon on Wednesday night. People are still searching the sides of the highway, hoping to find more of the money. However, police said it’s all been accounted for.
Oregon State Police Lt. Jim Andrews said anyone who stopped on the scene did a “pretty good job of cleaning it all up.” Andrews said the money belonged to 38-year-old Colin Davis McCarthy and his family. Andrews said McCarthy drained the family’s shared bank account in cash and then let it fly along the freeway.
Andrews said there is “little” that police can do for the family, because it was a shared account with McCarthy’s name on it.

Damn. I wonder if the police response would be this thorough for boxes of donuts?
Someone needs their meds adjusted.
I sat for hours in traffic on the outbound Eisenhower Expressway (???)Chicago.
A drug dealer threw the money off of the Cicero overpass when he sniffed a cop.
Thousands of motorists left their cars to grab some cash.
The Chicago police chief could not stop laughing as he read a statement asking the citizens to return the cash.
Was he wearing a mock crew neck & high heels, driving a new Rolls & speaking with a urkranian accent?
Yeah, that’s about the only thing I can think to explain it.
“I’ll give that money to strangers before I give it to her.” is probably what he was thinking.
Easy come, easy go...
They can have the money returned.
Yeah, but only voluntarily. Chances of that are slim to none.
I’ve done that before. Believe me, it’s not as fun as it sounds.
Good tactic in principle.
The family said although the chances are slim, they’re asking anyone who found any of the cash to return it to Oregon State Police
