$20s Rain Down in Green Bay
GREEN BAY, WI-October 27, 2005 - Traffic came to a halt on a congested bridge after it started to rain $20 bills.

Morning commuters jumped out of cars Wednesday, hopped dividers and nearly caused accidents trying to catch the flying cash blowing from a money bag that accidentally dropped from an armored truck.
"People were stuffing handfuls of money into their pockets and running back to their cars and speeding off," Lt. John Balza said.

Of the $80,000 in the bag, some $72,000 was recovered, but almost none of it willingly, he said.

"No one was like, 'Oh here, I'm collecting this for police,"' Balza said.

Police said they are not sure how the money bag fell out of the armored courier owned by Badger Armor Inc.

The company did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press seeking comment.

Police Capt. Greg Urban called on people who picked up the money to be "honest and ethical" and turn it over to police.

"Technically, it's the crime of theft, not finders keepers," he said.

None of the above... option 3... sit back an enjoy the greed driven frenzy.

Taking the money and running is just asking for karma to come fawk with you somehow, on the other hand I don't have a reputation for being particularly helpful.

Well, the armored truck was hired to move the money from point A to point B inside the security of a locked armored vehicle. It failed to do so, the money fell out, I think the armored truck company should be responsible for repaying the bank for that money.

That's right, I'd be picking up 20's and RUNNING!

Unmarked, serial numbers not recorded. I found it on the street, could have been from the bag but prove it. Maybe someone else dropped it. Finders keepers.

You guys are scoundrels... I'm not dropping my wallet anywhere near either of you. :P

Also interesting to note... 4 different posters but only 2 votes meaning 2 people didn't vote... I'm one of them... did Mr. Wilson not vote in his own poll?

Actually, it was the end of the day. I sorta posted and ran. I just answered today and I was miffed that my THREE options were not there, only two.

I hate it when this happens but I actually tend to side with Slag on this. I almost would help return it but it is not the same as a wallet with ID on it. Hard call. Another part would enjoy watching the lust play out.

From the nature of some of your posts around here you could've fooled me.

I've been preaching to folks around here for along time that it only hurts the first time they agree with me and here ya go blowing holes in that theory.

Don't you have like another month of vacation you can take? [/quote]

There's still $8,000 missing so I think most people would go with the finders keepers theory.

Re: Koan: Sound of one hand clapping

This will sound very odd but I have to be of the same opinion with Slag and SD.
If you take it something bad is bound to happen. I'd try and help collect it and return. But it would be fun to sit back and watch the mad dash for cash.
