HANOVER, Germany, May 15 (UPI) -- A 23-year-old man test-driving a convertible in Germany had an envelope containing more than $31,000 in cash blow away, police say.

Police said after the envelope blew off the back seat of the vehicle, the $31,135 in cash it contained spilled along the motorway the man was traveling on, the BBC reported Friday.

While police cordoned off the road for half an hour to aid in the search for the escaping funds, nearly $4,100 was never recovered.

The man had the cash with him to pay for the Audi convertible he was test-driving and now he faces the possibility of being charged for the cost of the police search, the BBC said.

The Independent of London said authorities have warned members of the public to avoid conducting their own searches along the motorway near the city of Hanover. Police warned individuals keeping any of the missing funds could be committing a crime.

:lol What. The. Hell.

You must have lost a few brain cells to be that fucking dumb...do they not have bank accounts in Germany? I will never understand why the fuck people carry that much cash around with them EVER. I had 5,000 in cash on me for about 2 hours one time and I was the most insanely nervous and paranoid fucking person in the world until I finally got to the damn bank...

Why would you ever bring that much cash around with you?

Paying cash to me means having the cash and writing a damn check!

Haha. I once had about $7,500 on me for work and I was doing shit like crossing the street to see if anyone was following me. I understand the paranoia completely!

This was natures way of saying that he really shouldn't have that convertible.

More than $31,000 CASH, in an envelope? Just put down somewhere in a convertible to get blown out of the car?

What a dumbass for real. Actually, I take back the laughing, because thinking about it, it was so stupid that it makes me angry...

 

[riskVSreward]

What an airhead.

This pun was neither good enough nor bad enough to be up to par with GAF's puns.
