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.

Misled by a bucket list
Two Florida women ended up in a jail thanks to a “bucket list” that included stealing from a store. Police said that Andrea Mobley, 36, and Jennifer Denise Morrow, 38, were arrested after they tried to leave a Walmart with several unpaid items—including beef jerky and a bathing suit. Morrow told cops the mini crime spree was part of a “bucket list” of activities they wanted to complete before they died. “We were two stupid women doing something we never did before,” said Mobley.
