A True Story: Bird Thieves

A True Story

Bill owns a company that manufactures
and installs car wash systems.
Bills company installed
a car wash system in Frederick, Md.
Now, understand that these
are complete systems,
including the money changer and
money taking machines.

The problem started when the new owner
complained to Bill that he
was losing significant amounts
of money from his coin machines each week.

He went as far as to accuse Bill's
employees of having a key
to the boxes and ripping him off.
Bill just couldn't believe his
people would do that,
so they setup a camera to catch
the thief in action.
Well, they did catch him on film!




That's a bird sitting on the change
slot of the machine.



The bird had to go down into the machine,
and back up inside to get to the money!



That's three quarters he has in his beak!
Another amazing thing is that it
was not just one bird --
there were several working together.
Once they identified the thieves,
they found over $4000 in quarters on
the roof of the car wash and
more under a nearby tree.





And you thought you heard of
everything by now!


And to think the phrase 'bird brain'
is associated with being dumb.
Not these birds.
