First an overturned truck of pigs closed an interstate in Arkansas, then a beer spillage closed a Vermont highway, now armfuls of cash have caused a traffic jam in California.At 11:50 a.m. on Sunday, a man began tossing thousands of dollars from his car onto Interstate 210 outside Los Angeles, causing drivers to pull over and rush into traffic to pick up the cash.
California Highway Patrol officers issued the following statement: "Please do not stop on the freeway to look for money. Stopping on the freeway can be hazardous or even fatal." Luckily, no one was hurt and the cash-giving man, who appeared to be mentally unstable, turned himself in to authorities.
Cops were able to recover about $1,000 from the road, but they asked anyone who picked up the man's money to turn it in so it can be returned. Good luck with that.

well i lost or misplaced,or had stolen from me,21,800 in cash that i had been saving off and on,since about 1978...and i had no insurance to recover it....it's a long story,but it's gone..i have never done well at making a nice living..from time to time..i still get weird feelings of hope that a good life with a lot of money is just around the corner,but you know what,...by then all the people i love would probably be gone by the time it happens and then the money won't mean anything to me ...so..enjoy the cards life dealt you and find as many things and people in life that you can enjoy and love,even if you think some of those things are weird..!..good luck to all of you

Nice comment! You don't get to see ones like yours to often. Usually the comments are hate filled, or people bashing Obama or people trying to sell junk that has nasty side effects. Thanks for the decent comment and God Bless You.

Crap, I'm only a few hundreds yards from the 210. Man, wish he had tossed it out by me.
Where on the 210 was he throwing this cash out?

It happened near the Grand Ave exit. I am just south of the 210 and would not have pulled over and risked my life even if I could have grabbed a thousand of it.
The Azusa PD has asked the public who picked up the money to return it.
Yeah right! That ain't happening.

I still can't believe how greedy people are. Do they realize that they could've been killed. I mean I'm just a kid... well teenager (I simply don't view myself as responsible enough to be called a adult yet) but even I can see how greedy man has become. What do you think of the corruption of man?

Let me tell you something son, wherever there is a lot of money there is sure to be greed even in the places that you'd never suspect. I once belonged to a prestigious Beacon Hill Congregation in Boston Mass and let me tell you there were members right on up to the Priest stealing tens of millions of dollars! If you care to read about this church and it band of theives type in Swedenborgian mobster Edward Mackenzie into your browser. A former Mafia lieutenant has hostilely taken over this church and you wouldn't believe what he's done!

Hello JerryC. You want to wake the hell up. Obama has destroyed the U.S. Dollar more in his first 200 days, than Bush did in his eight years. At the rate these guys are printing money we will be out of trees by 2012.

I am sick & tired of hearing, "It's Obama's fault". When are people going to take responsibility for their actions? I voted for Obama but I truly think he won't be able to get us out of this rut we're in. It's going to take many many many years to fix what Bush did.

I sure could have used some of it. I don't even know what it's like to have money.
