Money for Nothing Page #3

We used to have

a third man ride in the back

- Lock me in Yeah

- Lock you in?

I ask for a detective

They send Houdini

Okay

The trucks they give us ain't fit

to carry clothes to the Salvation Army

You're terminated

Both of you

I'm on the Job 14 years

when you still in school

It was Just me, your father

and two Puerto Ricans

and a converted milk truck

Look, I got a family to support

I'm 52 years old I can't go

and start knockin' on doors now

You should've thought of that

before you f***ed up.

In our top local story tonight,

Liberty Bell Courier announced

$12 million fell out

of the storage compartment

from one of their armored trucks

during a delivery run.

Did I hear that right?

A million bucks fell off a truck?

Our reporter Lois Bowden filed an

earlier report from South Philadelphia

where police are concentrating

their efforts to recover the lost loot

- Losing

$ 1.2 million isn't as easy-

- Anybody want more fish?

- But it can happen

- Joey, shhh, I wanna hear this

Standing beside me is Steve Hrbek,

vice president of Liberty Bell Courier

Mr Hrbek,

how could this happen?

I can't give any reason

for this unfortunate mishap.

I can only say that something

went seriously wrong.

- I'll say

- Even though they are rare,

you find that incidents...

like these

do occur in our business.

Usually the money is recovered

before the story hits the evening news

but obviously in this case,

that didn't happen.

Is there anything

you'd like to say to the person

who found the money?

It's not yours Give it back

Reporting from South Philly,

this is Lois Bowden, Channel Five news.

In other news,

60% of Philadelphians we polled...

said they would leave

the City of Brotherly Love,

if given a chance.

Who conducts all these polls, hmm?

Nobody ever asks my opinion

That dumb S.O.B.

who found that money...

- he don't even know what he's in for

- What's an SOB?

- Never mind

- Well, lucky stiff

He did no more

than the politicians

He picked up his.

They got theirs handed to 'em.

It ain't against the law

to find money.

- It is to keep it

- What are you talkin' about?

Happens all the time

down at the docks, right?

Guys tryin'to take home

unclaimed merchandise.

- They're always doin'it

when no one's lookin'.

- Burn 'em at the stake

- You don't understand anything,

you know that?

- No

You don't take something

if it's not yours You Just don't

A lot of people got money

problems, they don't steal

This guy, he finds this money

Pennsylvania law says if you

find somethin'worth over $200

and you don't try to return it...

you're committing a crime,

same as stealin'

And you get up

to five years in prison
