Only in California

BBC NEWS | Americas | Free money sparks road chaos

No way would you see me out in any lane of that freeway trying to get money.

I saw that. Some woman running around in traffic picking up change. LOL

This happened in San Diego. There was more than just change flying around. It was untraceable drug money and more than $17,000 they suspect.

Some people were able to grab up wards of $1800-$2000. If I was there and saw all those Benjamin's flying around I would of stopped as well.

I don't like the "Only in California" title but everyone has their opinion.

These people will be prosecuted for taking the money.

It's all lighthearted Randall and nothing directed at you but you have to admit that California does have its majority share of the strange and odd police chases compared to the rest of the country. Ya know if it wasn't for California's police chases then the evening news wouldn't be interesting in the least.

Shows just what people will do for a buck.

These people are nuts. I could see the guy in the median, but that guy in the red shirt! No, I'd rather avoid the risk and sleep well, untroubled by the thought that I'm on camera and the cops are looking for me for a few twenties!
