MINOCQUA, Wis. (AP) - Dozens of drivers made a mad rush for cheap gas after a station employee accidentally changed the price to 33 cents a gallon.

Anyone living there?

It's a tough one. What would you do if an ATM suddenly started spitting money out? (it's happened) I'm not sure how good a man I'd be.

I've only read of one case where an ATM started spitting money out, and that was when the five slot was filled with twenties. Extracting fifteen dollars from your account got you sixty. Until the next day, and the accounting was done, and all the account owners were charged for what they actually got, some of them going into arrears.

I read one story where the thing just started dispensing 20s, non stop. A bunch of people scooped them up until a few people managed to restrain them and call the cops.

Another time in Oakland, an armored truck turned over and spilled mucho currency. A lot of it was never recovered in spite of much advertising to the effect that people could bring it in no questions asked.

This was in West Oakland, a really rough part of Oakland.

Imagine that.

Didn't sacks full of money once fall out of an armored car in Boston? I recall reading something like that.

Joseph "Joey" Coyle was an unemployed longshoreman in Philadelphia who, in February 1981, found $1.2 million in the middle of the street after it had fallen out of the back of an armored car. His story was made into the movie Money for Nothing starring John Cusack and also a book written by Mark Bowden titled Finders Keepers: The Story of a Man Who Found $1 Million.

Joey struggled with a drug addiction for most of his adult life. He committed suicide by hanging himself in his basement.
