Armored truck's cash rains on Atlanta interstate

[left-of-center2012]

Drivers on Atlanta’s busy perimeter highway were bombarded by flying money after a door swung open on an armored truck.

WSB Radio reports that the rain of cash prompted a dozen or more drivers to pull over on I-285 near Ashford-Dunwoody Road.

A video shows people spilling out of their cars to scoop up the bills in traffic lanes. Amazingly, no one was hurt. By the time police arrived, the opportunists had driven off with the money.

Dunwoody Police Sgt. Robert Parsons told the radio station that taking the money off the road is most certainly a crime. They’re investigating to see how much is missing.

Parsons says they’re going to need that cash back.

1. I'm sure people will return the money

[MineralMan]

2. Oh, no doubt. They're just keeping it in a safe place

before turning it in.

But, there are video cameras everywhere on interstates for traffic monitoring.

3. no problem turning it in

as long as the bank has a description of all the notes and can describe them with serial numbers.

4. Hmmmm ... one place I worked people said about our meager pay raises, "The Great Bird of Paradise"

will fly over us and drop (poop) our meager pay raises for the year. Hmmmmm ... I wonder, is this what happened!

5. Wow, somebody really screwed up!

I recall something like this happening in the last couple of years, you'd think that the armored car companies would have done something about it. I have indicator lights on my car that tell me if a door or the trunk lid are not properly shut, you'd think someone could come up with that kind of gizmo to tell a driver that the back door was not locked while the truck was moving.
