Hypothetical: Lets say you’re driving to your dead-end job to stare at a computer screen for eight hours just to make enough money to live in your shitty apartment and eat your shitty food. Again, this is a hypothetical so no hard feelings, bro. So you’re in your 1991 Mazda Miata with 3 missing hubcaps drinking gas station coffee because that’s all your loser ass can afford, when you see the rear doors to a Brinks truck open just ahead.
Bags and bundles of money that would add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars flies out onto the freeway well before the Brinks driver comes to a stop well ahead.
What do you do?
A.) Pick up as much money as you possibly can.
B.) See option A.
C.) Seriously dude, why are you still considering other options. Pick up the fucking money and scram.
Well, that’s the exact scenario drivers traveling on Interstate 70 in Indianapolis, Indiana during rush hour were faced with Wednesday morning when $600,000 of loose bills blew out the back of the armored truck.

According to Indiana State Police, the Brinks truck driver only knew what was happening when another driver waved at him and pointed to the back of his truck. By that point he was hundreds of yards from the lost money. Fox 59 reports that people were jumping over fences from the adjacent neighborhood to stuff their pockets with money.
Turns out, that money is not free…

I am NOT about breaking the law. It’s wrong. Don’t do it. Keep driving.
