Drivers grab cash dumped on Pa. highway

Associated Press
UPPER ST. CLAIR, Pa. — A bank courier van has spilled more than $100,000 in cash along a Pennsylvania highway, and motorists have stopped to grab it. Police say much of the money was blown around by the wind. Lt. James Englert says “well into six figures” in cash is missing after the money grab in Upper St. Clair, just southwest of Pittsburgh. Police are investigating why the door of the Fidelity Courier Service van opened. But they say the fact the door opened doesn’t mean the money was free. They say taking it is theft. Anyone who took money has a two-week grace period to return it without fear of prosecution. The courier company is offering a reward for the return of the money.
