A bank employee's nightmare
An Austrian bank employee took bags of cash worth about $117,000 out of his trunk while changing a flat tire, only to see the bags roll down a steep hill and into the river. The bank employee was transporting the 90,000 euros between branches when he stopped to fix the flat and tried to lighten the car by removing bags of cash. He watched in horror as the bags began tumbling into the river below. Police recovered 3,000 euros from the water, but the rest went missing, and the employee was fired.
